September 4, 2023 - Good, but obviously past its prime. Thick with tertiary flavors of cedar, red clay and spices. Its almost sweet in the mid-palate and ends with very soft tannins. This wine can still stand up to a rib eye steak, and if you can find it for $60 (as I did recently) then it's still a good deal.

March 10, 2019 - Extremely plummy after opening, dry and acid the morning after. This is very disappointing, wines from this Chateau will not enter my house again. 1 more bottle to go.

January 6, 2019 - Strong plummy nose. The wine itself is plummy, on the sweet side and gives some spice in the finish. Aged way too fast for a Premiere GCC. Still nice to drink, but well below expectations.

December 23, 2018 - A bit of spice and oak. Tannins was there but soften after an hour. Overall, enjoyable and easy on the palate with distinct Bordeaux flavour.
