By turns tarry, violet/floral, plummy. A bit ryatic texture here detracts or points to more btl age needed.

Not complex, but ready to drink and quite satisfying. Plenty of acidity left, with cigar box, cedar, wrapper leaf and cassis aromas and flavors. Proper claret. #châteaumartinat #côtesdebourg

Not bad! Showing much more elegant than the last bottle. Nice weekday red.

Bordeaux: the wine I never reach for yet every time I have one I find myself continuously reaching for my glass. It's earthy, plumy and gamy and oh so easy to drink.
