So at the price point and label I was expecting a hard hitting big Bordeaux….this is not that. This isn’t bad by any stretch but drinks below what I’ve come to expect from the area and what a $35 bottle should present. That aside, a solid entry and clean finish. Mature red fruits in the back of the palette. Earth notes on the nose. This would be perfect at $25.
