Surprisingly excellent for the money -- not a lot of length but as Sarah D says, very well integrated. I would compare this in value to Masi's Campfiorin: it's been "auto-tuned" somehow--you can't quite put your finger on why you like it, as all its edges have been smoothed out, but it nevertheless, mysteriously, somehow does not disappoint

Re-tasted Mar 2015: While still a decent, authentic left bank Bordeaux, this wine seems a bit less impressive than when I tasted it a year ago. Seems a bit more lean and short finishing. I recommend erring on the side of caution and drinking this sooner rather than later as I don't think that it will improve from here.
