Another killer BDX value that is drinking well. Rough textured and grippy, dense and layered on the palate featuring dark fruit, sweet leather and iron. This could go another decade.

A really delicious, fairly simple Bordeaux. It has everything you'd expect: leather, tar, tobacco, meat. It won't change your world but it did change my meal for the better.

Jul 19th, 2019Decent everyday Bordeaux. Rich, fairly ripe, black plums, tar, tobacco, and on the finish some cassis. Quite giving and overt. It's accessible and a crowd pleaser. Perfect with a peasants' stew.

Dark berries, pencil lead, cedar, spices, liquorice and freshness! Great acidity, great right bank value

Plush purple clotted cream on the nose. Warm vanilla. Clean dirty earth in the palate. Nice supple tannins. Plush

Blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Aromas and flavors of dried black cherries, dried currants and prunes. Hints of minerals and Forrest Floor. Long (but a bit astringent) finish and smooth tannins. Good structure. Revisited in March 2023. This bottle was less astringent. (Thanks Keith!) Taking rating up to 9.0. Revisited again in October 2023.
