So deliciously off-vintage. Light, fresh, yet tertiary. And so much gravel.

JR sourced library wine in 2013! Enticing ripe floral darker fruit spicy nose and lively palate with good finish. Said to be classic old school Medoc and what a nice wine. Better than previous notes on CVed bottle. Last one and already at peak. Yum.

Moderate garnet core with bricking at the rim. Aromas of cigar box, dried red fruits, and a hint of VA. Thin and acidic on the palate with little structure and a tart, clipped finish. Was a decent entry level Bordeaux at one time but now definitely on the decline.

Back to everyday wines Bordeaux CVed 11/13/17. JR wine. Floral earthy nose and great balanced palate and good finish. Good value at less than twenty. Opened 2/19/18. Nose has some oxidative resin sherry notes that's not bad but makes you wonder about CV (bit of cork stain from the CV). Still a lively ave good wine.

Nice typical nose. The palate isn't ample but shows a nice evolution. Oak fully integrated, round and nice tannins, a finish on red berries and strawberry jam. Nice wine. Less than 9€

Nice, solid as granite. Fruit on the nose. Green pepper and black berry with a dry as stone finish.
