Here's a brilliant value in old-fashioned, "luncheon claret"-type Bordeaux that offers the graphite/cedar box/ripe capsicum qualities that are typical of the southern districts of the appellation. And- more important- these qualities are wrapped into a package of low alcohol (12.5%), subtlety, grace and balance that gives a glimpse into what the wines of this region were before the explosion of "Parkerized" wines in 1982. This is simply one of our best red wine values!
