Dec 17th, 2019From the much maligned 2011 vintage. 47 % cabernet sauvignon, 43% merlot, 7% cabernet franc, 3% petit verdot. Very shy in the beginning, this wine improves spectacularly with decanting. Smells like cassis and cedarwood. Medium-bodied old-school Bordeaux with slightly rustic tannin, but well-balanced and a nice food wine. Not up to Cru Classé level, but so is the price. Very good value at 26 euro

Jul 26th, 2019Delicious, slips down wonderfully. Very well made and balanced with a fantastic nose. Probably not hugely memorable but still an enjoyable experience drinking it

Jul 25th, 2018Mid-weight body, balanced tannins. No surprises.

Feb 18th, 2018Still young, but more medium bodied Bordeaux. Really nice floral notes on the nose that continues to the palate and re-emerges on the finish. Elegant spice and earth notes capped with mocha and currant. Great thanksgiving wine.

Nov 23rd, 2017Good aroma making me feel black fruits and I feel the taste coming from Haut Medoc. It would be medium body. But that is meaning it should take one hour decanting. Then even better. @1300, Winona, 161224
