Suggested by the buyer at Costco. Good price point, good taste. A bit better after breathing. I'd definitely have it again.

Cigar box warmth gives way to plums, black currants, and dark chocolate finish. Slightly astringent at first, but does open after a bit of decanting.

Solid right-bank Bordeaux performer straight outta Costco. Didn't know anything about it beforehand. Shows basics of a fine wine - cigar box depth marries well with the fruit. Ends on a sanguine iron note. Pairs very well with Lebanese lamb dinner. The slight astringent finish is smoothed away by the food, showcasing the best components of the wine. I was very pleasantly impressed. - Vintage 2011 tasted September 2015

Fruity, not too tannic, dry.

Let it sit a bit to open up and its jammy-ness mellows out. It was tasty!

Tastes like a darker wine to me. Pretty bitter, but I guess that's the style.

Very drinkable wine. Needs to breath for a little while. Beware the sediment at the bottom of the bottle!
