Strong tannins and lots of character. High in acidity, could have been more balanced. Leaves a lingering dryness that is not particularly appealing. Had the 2011 vintage.

What a good Bordeaux should taste like. Very vegetal with a hint of fruit. Main issue is limited tannin. Otherwise I would have rated higher.

Great stuff but a bit young yet. Really full mouth but immature. Will look to enjoy this over the next few years.
