This wine delivers all of the classic Bordeaux qualities. It is fairly subtle on the nose, with a few dark berry tones and a little earth and tobacco aromas coming through. These same elements dominate the palate. It has a relatively light weight in the mouth, giving it a smooth and velvety texture. It finishes with a little smoky oak flavors and moderate tannins, but not overwhelming. Very food-friendly. It’s a little pricy at $35, but not unreasonable for this style of wine.
