This is a lovely great value from the 2010 glorious Bordeaux vintage. Was bought for about 12$ back in 2012. The wine is very modern and new world in style , full of ripe fruit and flavors: black raisin ,dried blackberry, fig ,prune ,black cherry, oak and vanilla, full body , mild acidity and a long fruity finish. A bit too ripe for me, many would still like. My score 88, drink to 2022

Black currant and liquorice, with some nutty notes. Maybe almond? Very interesting on the nose. Pretty good on the palate, showing characteristics of a typical left bank Bordeaux.

For the price, it's a great Bordeaux. Will surely buy several bottles for future dinners at the house.
