Critic Review (2011 Review, Couldn't find 2012 Review) : One of my personal favorite Bordeaux that I've tried. It's full bodied with high tannin levels, strong oak taste but not overpowering. It's a blend of 60% merlot, 15% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Simply delicious.
My Review: I thought this wine didn't have much of a smell in the beginning, but after swirling, I could actually smell more of the wine. I'm not sure if it was because I took a bigger sniff or what, but I was surprised since I hadn't noticed that effect in the other wines yet. I thought this wine had more of a taste than the last wine (Italo Cescon Artigiano Del Vino Pinot Noir). This wine tasted more sweet but still bitter. I still did not like it much though.
I did not have this wine with food.
