Hey wadayaknow: A cheap Bordeaux that actually tastes pretty good!
Mid-weight, mid-concentration, but for the price hey, not bad at all!
Still a bit tight on the nose but a typical lefty palate-profile: blackberry, blackcurrant, herbs, a bit of wood. Plenty of tannin but in balance.
All in all a really good value and a great everyday Bordeaux.
Drinking very well now but will certainly mellow and integrate over the next few years. Personally I prefer drinking stuff like this on the young and virile side like the French do.
