Nice aged Bordeaux. Secondary flavors dominate with a bit of tobacco, spice. Medium finish. Has held up well but unlikely to improve much. Drink now.

Robe grenat opaque aux reflets brun�tre d�montrant une maturit� certaine. Le nez est s�duisant et complexe fruits noirs, prune, fruits s�ch�s, caf�, tabac, et une couche d�ar�mes tertiaires qui rappellent l�humus, la for�t, le cuir. Profond et inspirant. La bouche n�est pas en reste, chaleureuse et g�n�reuse, tannins velout� qui tapissent et enrobent le palet, une acidit� juste et un fruit moelleux viennent donner un �quilibre � l�ensemble. Un Bordeaux de belle classe, parfait sur le cip�te qui a le …

Tobacco, red fruits , spice. Fruit not as upfront as it should. Slowly coming out of its shell but been open for 2 hours and should be showing more. Great acidity. Let�s cork it back up and see what it taste like tomorrow Next night - Rough edges smoothed out but still not particularly complex. Still somewhat youthful but the fruit is drying up.

Opened up for 1 hour. Once open dark red fruits, medium body with round mouthfeel. Notes of coffee and menthol. Very enjoyable. Drinking very well.

Forest floor, spice box, truffle, smoke, licorice and dark red fruits are a nice treat for the nose. Close to fully mature, the secondary, earthy aromatic profiles move to ripe, sweet, fruits in the finish, but there is touch of dryness in the end note that stops the wine from getting a higher score.

Vanilla notes. Tight, short finish to begin with. Decanted and opened up nicely after three hours.

DRC Tasting Group: Le Pin (Cafe Veloce) : Nice nose of red and black fruits. Big structure and tannins, with a nice deepness and softness on the palate. The alcohol is definitely present on the body. Med+ finish with med acids. Hedonistic, new world style, but very enjoyable.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Rick's & Cris') : Perfumed black fruit aromas; cassis and lavender. Chalky tannins with flavors of balck fruit on the palate. I was surpised to see this was a Bordeaux.

14% alcohol; 91% merlot: From a St Emilion producer very much on the upgrade under new ownership since 2004. This wine is drinking well now. A lovely dark wine, inky, nearly as dark as night, with no real fade around the edge. Cassis and blackcurrant on the nose, but sifter fruit notes too. As well as the fruit, upon tastings there are earthy flavours coming through too, its a delicious blend of fruit, tannins and acidity. Lots of evidence of …

Opened an hour before serving. Dark maroon. A blast of new French oak dominates the nose. Spoofy red fruits on the mid palate. Bitter tannins lead to an astringent finish. A local wine shop here in Seattle was agressively behind this a couple of years ago and it was seemingly well priced. This needs time for the tannins to resolve, and I fear it will be a stewed mess by then. Someone suggested that M Rolland made this wine. I …

Has a bit of coffee and pleasing sweet fruit showing on the nose. Strong, spicy, yet smooth across the palate. More of a dark fruits kind of profile than I might have expected from a St. Emilion, but the smoothness gives it away as merlot-based. Really good stuff - a bit simple right now, not a lot of earth or complexity, but really enjoyable St. Emilion. Decent acidity, starting to develop a "wine-y" sense rather than just primary fruit.

Deep garnet, cassis on the nose with some earth and pencil lead. Medium bodied, nice cassis fruit, medium tannins, and a long finish. Simple Bordeaux but good and totally delivers for the price. Held up very well through the evening. Day 2: still good. This is good today and will live for a decade easily.

I got a bunch at costco closeout for $20/btl. Opened to see how this is. Deep dark purple, clear through out. Nose of blackberry, earth, and hints of coffee. Heat is present, but tannins are manageable. Flavors of leather, earth, smoke, and medium finish. Enjoyable right bank that could use more time obviously.
