Decanted for 3 hours. Silky texture and mouthfeel. Not too much complexity, but an affordable example of Mitjavile style.

I haven't had a lot of Bordeaux that I loved. This was an exception. Deliciously fruity and drinkable.

Last time I drank this was five years ago according to delectable. Pulled from the cellar for a ribeye. Luscious. Rich and dense but not over the top. Pretty decent acid holding it together. Oak was a hot mess 5 years ago, now it is fully integrated. Fruit is maturing but still has freshness. still plenty of tannin. In a good spot. probably 2026 for my final bottle..

2014 vintage. Ain't nothing pretty afoot but this delivers the dark side goods. Medium-heavy body. Sweet tobacco on the finish and Tootsie Roll + dark rum on the nose. Not the most articulate wine but it gets a sludgy point across. Should sally forth in this way for another half-decade. Very instructive as to what is possible in the Bordeaux hinterlands. Tastes more chi-chi/foo-foo obscenely pricey Napa Cab/red blend than Gallic-based. Voices were raised in France and something was broken in anger at some point somewhere after tasting this. 7.17.24.

Very charming, dark fruit, cherry, peppermint. Very round and smooth open. Nice Dark fruits on the finish. Very good.

Still so youthful and so fresh - no hurry to drink this until 2030. Red fruit, m+ acidity, 100% new oak does the job

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Young but approachable. I believe this will really shine in about 5 years when it becomes more integrated. Intense nose. Powerful big body. Oak along with blue and black fruit. Somewhat grippy tannins bringing it all together. Nice Bordeaux, Shake Shack, and Tour de France, it’s a good night.

Got this is a grab bag kind of wine and was more than pleasantly surprised. The word that comes to mind is meaty, this was a thick wine it had leather and smoked meat and roasted fruits on it. I absolutely loved it.
