Nose is not particularly strong but there is some nice dark fruit at the initial taste and some good minerality in the finish but overall fairly flat

I just recently purchased this Bordeaux knowing that it is a lesser Bordeaux and just to try the 2011 vintage. I purchased as an end of bin sale for $9.99. It has lived up to that price tag. On the nose I get black cherry, blackberry, black currant, and a definite campfire smokeyness. On my palate I can taste plum, blackberry, black currant, charcoal with firm drying tannins, weak acidity and medium finish.
