April 17, 2024 - Très beau Bordeaux à point, sur les fruits noirs et l’encre, au boisé fondu. Grande fraîcheur, juteux, touché presque soyeux. Longueur moyenne. Le lendemain légèrement oxydé, prêt à boire.
March 4, 2024 - Un millésime qui se boit davantage dans la jeunesse, vraiment un super vin à ce prix, avec une vraie finesse rare dans les Bordeaux autour de 40€. Le vin commence à montrer des signes d’âge, à boire d’ici 2026 au plus tard à mon avis.
February 16, 2024 - good drinking now, perhaps will be better with some more aging
December 27, 2022 - Additional tasting note to previous one. Fourth bottle out of six. Year since last bottle.
Juicy. Really delicious. Not austere or flat, like 2014 can be. Truly juicy, rich, great length and acidity, classic Bordeaux yet with real warmth. Will develop, but drinking lovely.
December 4, 2021 - Third bottle out of six.
Lovely fresh, structured Right Bank wine. Nice and warm for a relatively austere vintage. Good nose of undefined fruits and a hint of tobacco and graphite. Fresh acids initially, some fine tannins, slight grippiness towards the finish. Bramble and again some unsmoked tobacco. Hints of oak spiciness.
Excellent now, will probably age but wouldn't drink past 2025.
March 1, 2021 - Nase: Rote bis leicht dunkle Frucht, frisch, lebendig
Gaumen: Eher säurebetont, noch durchaus starke Tannine, Himbeere kommt stark durch, aber generell ist die Frucht im Hintergrund, mittlerer Körper, eher burgundisch als Bordeaux Style, langer Abgang
October 19, 2019 - Deep red with purple red brim. Somewhat closed and oaky aromas with notes of plums, a touch of spices and cigar box. Mouthfeel is a little closed, astringent, with prominent tannins and notes of plums, gravel and a touch of spices and cigar box.
Might need some more time.
July 22, 2019 - Airoldi Fine Wines Winter Tasting (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Plums, chocolate, sweetly spiced with a funky undertone, a little leather savouriness. A little disappointing on the palate - the fruit muted to the point of invisibility and a touch of chocolate. Nah.
May 11, 2019 - A nose filled with pure ripe black fruit and Turkish delight. On the palate, the fruit persists and the tannins are plentiful but well developed. Delicious and long finish. Ready to drink but can age a lot more. Punches above its weight. Good value for money at 30 gbp per bottle.
May 1, 2015 - In the nose, you find black raspberries, with an earth and spicy character, the wine is forward and ends with a mineral driven character. 90-91 Pts
