Initially dry and tannic, the wine shows dark fruits with blueberry flavors, smoke and spice. It is rich and dense, already with the fruit right up front. Drink now or better age.

Very classic Bordeaux in the best sense. This shows a structure and tannic content that keeps well in balance with the black currant fruits. With its dry core, it promises well as a food wine, cutting through red meats with ease.

Fresh and spicy, this simple wine offers plenty of fresh satisfaction, lightweight and easy, with delicious crisp red berries and some dusty tannins.

A structured wine that gives pleasure from its ripe blackberry fruits as well as from its firm, food-friendly, spicy tannins. It has vibrant, vivid acidity that lifts the dense structure and gives an elegant feel to the close.

Pierced with acidity, this has intense black currant fruits and some smoky bacon flavors from the wood aging. It is firm, dry, concentrated, although not yet fully expressive.

Wood-dominated wine, very structured. It is spicy, firmly dry, with juicy black currant fruit behind the wood. Give a year or two for the wood to soften out and the fruit to come forward.

Stalky black currant fruit dominates this wood-aged wine. The black fruits are fresh, although with a stern structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. It need a year to develop.

A smooth, vanilla-flavored wine that shows good black currant flavors. There are soft tannins, some wood notes, but there is also a stalky dryness in the background. The aftertaste leaves wood and dry fruit in equal proportions. Imported by Wine Frog.
