Light brown colour.
Close to top shoulder fill. Cork with dry marks almost to its top.
The wine seemed a bit oxidised by aroma and flavour.
Elegant tertiary aroma - not much fruit left.
Med bodied, low harmony, less than expectations.
No fruit showed, but a classic left bank structure with little acidity.
Medium-plus finish. The experience was important.

light red-brown color with brown rim;
Strong green herbs aroma that softened a bit during 30 min - this wine require a pre-opening of few hours; very tannic & green in taste; a classical Saint Estephe.

deep garnet colour
heavy intense aroma of pepper, slight earthiness, ripe black currant, blackberries, pencil lead, cedar, hints of chewy red fruit;
thick and dense on the palate while still quite structured.
firm tannin, full bodied, dense black fruits, nice cedar, hint vegetal flavours towards the end, good complexity;
medium-long finish with a hint of bitterness.
excellent and still young, though enjoyable now. can live at least a decade ahead.

Clearly one of the top Bordeaux ever tasted so far, including 1er GCC, but for a fraction of the price!!!
Nobody expected that this will turn out to such a great wine!
The aromas haunted all the 8 of us for many long minutes.
Classic leather, perfect mature red and black fruits and an old cigarbox filled with quality tobacco.
In the palate a perfect balance of fruit, tannins acid and a fantastic velvety mouthfeeling that made all guest around the table several times simply forget the food and just sitting there. What a big wine!
