Nez de cave humide, cuir et pruneaux. En bouche, on lui donnerait 20 ans de moins! Le vin est bien vivant, avec une belle concentration, de l'énergie et une longueur fort respectable. Le 2e verre est encore meilleur. Il a gagné en volume et en prestance. Un vieux vin certes, mais avec une complexité aromatique admirable. 93 pts -

January 10, 2024 - A perfect bottle. Lovely soft red fruit and plenty of earth. Smooth and well balanced but very little depth.

December 20, 2023 - Totally have the same review as Grapescott. I couldn’t agree more. This really surprised, I wish I had more. This is among the best 66s I’ve had and the others are pricier.

December 5, 2021 - High shoulder fill, cork was extracted with a Durand in excellent condition. Color is deep purple with no signs of bricking. Extremely youthful nose, more black-fruited than I expected for DDC, with cherry and cassis, accented by earth, cedar and saddle leather. Elegant but with a richness that explodes in the mouth, with a smooth, seamless finish. I could drink this all night. Just an extraordinary wine.

October 18, 2019 - Lunch bordelais décadent (au Quartier Général): Une bouteille qui a fait jaser, mais pas que pour les bonnes raisons! Le nez paraissait bouchonné à certains, ce n'est qu'après aération qu'ils ont convenu que non, alors qu'apparaissait ce côté fumé classique, des notes de poivrons. Il reste que ce n'était pas une des meilleures bouteilles de ce lot acheté à l'encan. Celle-ci était agréable avec un fruit un brin sucré, mais quelques saveurs vieillottes. Agréable mais surtout en fonction de son âge. 87 pts sur celle-ci
