Community Tasting Note

91 Points
Wednesday, May 3, 2023 - From this wine I have the most bottles in my cellar. Never disapoints me (04, 05, 10, 15, 16, 18) so far and probably will (20, 22). All what I expect from bdx left bank is here and for a price which is more than fair, even cheap. Has the potential to age in general and becomes even more attractive with the years for me as I like those aromas. And du retout develops them really nicely and delivers every time. Actually it needs cellaring.
OK; you can not expect this refined, sophisticated and memoriable experiences as from Pauillac, St. Julien or St. Estèphe Grand Crus -but hey, quite close. For me more than Exceptionnel (it is "only" Cru bourgeois supérior)
