Very ripe nose of cassis and black/red berries. Very intense and deep. Forgot how ripe Bordeaux can get. Some earthen mossy scents as well. That classic Medoc thing under the ripeness. Elegant and complex with substantial structure and freshness. Deep cassis and wonderfully ripe and juicy tannins filled with nimble cassis fruit. A long finish. This is really great and classy.

I love this property and it's bang for the buck, and the 2014 is drinking at peak. Densely packed with dark fruit and gravel/iron/mineral, with a cedar note on the finish, as well as some smoky spice. Just a very well balanced wine, it's got heft and packs a punch, but never crosses the line to heavy and/or cumbersome. Great both on its own or with food.

Thin and woody. Perhaps it is young but I don't see this going anywhere good.

16/20 (88/100) В аромате преобладают тона черники и чёрной смородины, дополненные нотами кожи, шоколада и свежескошенной травы. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивные, но не грубые танины. Во вкусе чёрные ягоды и травянистая горчинка. Готовое вино, которое нужно пить здесь и сейчас, хорошее соотношение цена/качество.
