2019 vintage. Investigating +-$20 red Bordeaux, part three. This was (not unexpectedly with the Von Neipperg style) the best of the three. Nice nose. Medium-medium heavy body. Not much in terms of tannic structure but compliant fruit without being a fruit bomb. Retail price was in the low-$20's. Would definitely hit this again. 6.1.24. — 5 months ago

It was very good on its own, I would have preferred to drink it alone as opposed to a white tasting party with other wines — a year ago

8.9

Dark ruby with near black core. Abundant nose of cassis and black plum. Medium full palate yields black plum, tarry black cherry, and a hint of graphite. Fine (medium) tannins and juicy medium plus acidity. A nice step up from the "everyday" Bordeaux from the Comptes von Neipperg portfolio. Take it out or drink it in with beef stew, roast tenderloin, root vegetables, and other semi-rustic fare. Drink now through 2026. — 3 years ago

Blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). Medium ruby/garnet color with a slight brick colored rim. Aromas and flavors of dried cherries, currants, boysenberries and blueberries with notes of orange zest, graphite and violets. Pleasant long finish. Soft tannins and creamy/velvety texture. Extremely well balanced. Silky tannins. Aging gracefully. — 6 months ago
