The nose was rich with ripe plum and red berry along with the classic Bordeaux "barnyard" smell. The palate started with some cherry fruit and hints of chocolate which gave way to a rustic earthiness, with slightly sweet but gritty tannins. The finish was fairly lengthy, with notes of smoke on the finish.
This was a very pleasant, easy to drink Bordeaux for less than $20. It probably will not age very well for more than another couple of years. I may pick up some more of this to drink while waiting for some others to age.
Cheers!
