AJ | Dark,near-opaque black-red. Bright, curranty fruit with a savoury undertow. Some (ripely) vegetal notes on the nose, too. The overall impression is characterful and fresh, if straightforward and unrefined. Ample curranty drive, here, with prominent acidity and very soft (for the left bank) tannins. An energetic wine best in its youth, with some classic Medocain austerity lending the fruit some quiet complexity. Drink Dates: 2028 - 2036. 86
