Solid, approachably priced right bank Bordeaux. Dense ripe cherry and plum, moderate tannins, medium minus acidity. Chewy but moderate body.

Very smooth and light. Very light floral notes in background. Light leather notes and dark plum. Easy drinker

This is probably the most earthy chateneauf that I've had. Not a bite at all. Kathy says it's good. She didn't like it initially but it settled in. I want to try something other than St emilion.

When it’s so warm and lovely that you don’t even realize you’ve drunk almost the entire bottle yourself 😬

Needs an hour to open up. Blackberry, pencil lead, firm tannins. Went well with black pepper burger. $17
