Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A terrific value Bordeaux and very fruity on the palate. Medium bodied with aromas of licorice and oak with flavors to match. A nice easy to drink Bordeaux that will pair well with pasta, cheese and grilled meats.
Dianne Sheridan - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A great wine from the Bordeaux Region. I decanted this wine for an hour.

Extra dry, medium bodied, smooth and well balanced. Aromas of plum, oak, blackberries and vanilla. Strong berry flavours. Lovely smooth berry finish with soft tannins.

Serve with big meat dishes and hearty dishes.

Deep red colour with a garnet tinge. Nose of blackcurrant and rich ripe fruit. Round and fruity, well structured and smooth finish
