This was way closed when I last had it maybe 3 years ago. It’s very nice now. Very much old school Cru Bourgeois. Cedar and underbrush-infused cassis and dark berry fruit. Some gravel. A leaner styled Bordeaux. Cooling, graphite and ink-like minerality. Very linear. Still some drying tannins, but very good length and balance. If you’re looking for a 14.5 New World lookalike, avoid this. If you want to taste what solid working class Bordeaux tasted like around 1980, pre-global warming, this is it.

We had the 2010 Vintage on 7/30-31. Graphite and cigar box on the bouquet. The palate had black cherry, plum and a nice spice. Well balanced, full bodied. Old World. Good for the value. The tannins were smoothed out.

Currant and cassis nose. Hint of cedar and tobacco. Oaky tannins - smooth and long. Young red fruit at earliest edible but not perfectly ripe. Readily approachable

Strong alcohol taste at first but opens up nicely after about an hour. I enjoyed this one.
