88 Points

Thursday, April 21, 2022 - Great value for Bordeaux (12 Euros) and surprisingly this bottle showed almost no signs of age despite being 16 years old. Dark-toned wine with a slightly rustic oak treatment and still some rough tannins. Good acidity, some rusty iron flavors, and an interesting and slightly bitter vegetal note of tobacco leaves. Not a wine of elegance, but (considering its price) it is quite impressive for its richness of flavors and its youthful character. Likely to drink well for another ten years. - 88 points
