From a good vintage and always delivering incredible value for money. Leaf tea, cassis, plum and tobacco aromas are backed by a well balanced palate. Again dark fruited, with some nice tannic str...(more info)

We're delighted with this very smart Médoc, a steal for the price. 2015 was such a generous vintage it is admirable when restraint is clear. With this brilliant wine the balance between ri...(more info)
