DFBW Does not like this wine: 86 points
July 29, 2022 - Tasted more like a southern French wine and a little bit of a rough one at that. Clearly not a wine from a vintage that can take much ageing. Would not have guessed it was Bordeaux. Lacks polish, silk and soft fruit.

March 22, 2022 - Pretty average, sediment heavy wine. Fruit is a bit cooked. Not one for ageing.

February 26, 2021 - Ably made but lacking much enjoyment factor for me. It’s the vinous version of a stern though competent governess.

December 25, 2017 - Not bad - bit all over the place and probably needs more times to soften and come together.
