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.

Oaky smell, smooth start, peppery throughout, not terribly heavy on tannins

Good but strong. Paired very well with smoked meat.

Total wine purchase. Tried December 2022. Smells bad, like toe jam. Un drinkable. I typically love a left bank Bordeaux but this is bad

2016. Blackberry, oak, cedar, allspice, floral. Balance a bit skewed towards acidic but it works.
