Ripe and herbal, with an olive middle, dusting of pencil shavings, and prune finish. Quite nice.

Overall solid performance with a good fruit ripeness and energetic backbone with some layered complexity, a well integrated oak profile. Balanced throughout, but lacking some length to reach higher.

I seldom encounter wines from Bordeaux, offering loads of pleasure at bargain prices. This is a great exception! Well done.
