For the price, this is a great Bordeaux. Once it's open for a couple of hours it's excellent.

Picture is not my bottle. Drank a glass at Bin 35 in Brookside. Dark fruit, slight sweetness, plum, blueberry. Medium-length finish. Slightly strong alcohol taste, but otherwise good. Pairs well with fried chicken. I had the 2009 a couple of years ago and it was a little past its prime. 2014 at 3 years is better.

Distinct wood notes in the first hour or so, gives way to a more balanced (but not exciting) bouquet. Good middle of the road Bordeaux. 2012 half bottle, prize winner (dont know why), about $9 at specs in 2017.

Very dry and earthy... Beautiful ruby color and was a bit better after it had aerated for a while.
