At last another decent bordeaux that doesn't stink of wet straw and taste like dog piss. A good representative of the middle class wines. Deep rich tones of ruby red. Ripe toasted blackberries, almost overripe. Mild earthiness. Notes of licorice & Chocolate. Very promising. Beautiful. Strong tanins and acid, not too fruity yet. This need airing. Long and puckery.

Beautiful garnet-red robe with crimson hues. His racy and complex nose is in full bloom thanks to aeration,and then you will be sensitive to subtle and original aromas of ripened grapes, cedar, vanilla, blond tobacco, gingerbread, on a wake of roasted coffee, and grilled almonds. It has body, and it is rich with a good tannic structure. The latter is strenghtened by the fact that this wine is aged in barrels. The final taste is still full of aromas, perfectly mixing smoky spices.
