Simple, correct, classic Bordeaux without being astringent or overripe. Slightly lacking in complexity at this youthful stage but has enough tannins and acidity to age for 5-8 years. Hope it improves.

A strong start but mostly tasteless. You're left with some tannins but no complexity. Dunno where others smelled/tasted fruits but we did not. A big disappointment for the $45.

Dark purple with aromas of red and black fruit and spicy notes. Palate displays sour fruit, unripe cherries, harsh tannins that cooled off after a while. Finish is medium combined with alcohol burn. Tried again, still disappointed. No long term aging potential. Drink Now.

Trying against 2012. This has more Cab Franc and no Petite Verdot. Much brighter on the mouth. Was Smokey at first but opened up to more acidity.

Beautiful blend, nice fruit with a smooth dry finish. Love Bordeaux.

The nose is great but this wine is thin and acidic . There's not much fruit and it falls off the back of your pallette. As it opens it becomes very astringent as well

Light crisp tannins and slightly tart fruit at first impression, but then it's gone. Very short finish, mostly tasteless. 2012.
