Slight bricking, still lively and full — 11 years ago
The location is prime. Pure and good level of minerality and good fruit just missing the level of blue and blackfruit. Very balance and the overall tannin and acidic feel is good — 8 years ago
Inky violet red. Green pepper is less prominent and the body is juicier and fruitier than other cheap Bordeaux I've had. Oak age defines this: the tannins are big but silked out considerably, and the aroma and finish are decidedly that pruney oak deal. Part of me likes the sharp raw green pepper thing, but this is much more drinkable. This is a buy-again winner. — 10 years ago
