Had a nice glass of this wine from Bistro Guillaume at the famous French fine-dining at Crown Casino to match the steak I ordered. I think I am starting to appreciate French Bordeaux wines further, its subtleness and elegance are a complete comparison to the Aussie local reds. This is a Bordeaux Merlot dominated blend typical from the Right-Bank, which is hard wine to find at local cellars so if you can get your hands on it is definitely worth buying.
Appearance: Purple/violet coloured wine.
Nose: The wine is full of fresh red berries as soon as it was poured into the glass. I would say raspberry would be the dominant aroma that instantly feels the nose.
Palate: A medium-bodied wine that is smooth, silky and an enjoyable drink that has plenty of fruit tannins. The flavour tasting reminds me of a bottle of homemade jam. It is simply a very well balanced wine with alcohol content at 13%.

Summary: Love it, went well with the steak ordered for the night.
Overall: "Excellent - Simply a real delightful wine to drink" - 8 / 10
