Drank 11/26/18. Nice pairing with grilled lamb chops.
Nose of red cherry, cassis, some earth and graphite. Flavors of red and black fruits with leather, earth, and a touch of black pepper , backed by medium, dusty tannins. Always a nice value cru bourgeois, but the '12 comes across as a bit thin, lacking some of the concentration and depth of the '10. A nice wine nonetheless.
