100 Points

Friday, October 13, 2023 - Wow, how can this wine still be so young and powerful after 14 years? It's like it was bottled just yesterday. We didn't decant it, but we did open it up two hours in advance! It's a masterpiece. On the nose, the red fruit is boldly present with a kind of glue (thanks to the alcohol) that holds it all together, creating an explosion of fruity aromas in your nostrils – strong and rarely experienced! The color is intensely dark and compact as well.

In the mouth, the wine has a certain richness that perfectly mirrors the nose, once again intense and sultry with plenty of structure. It lingers for an incredibly long time, and there's nothing off-putting about it. It fades away just as it began. This must be the best vintage they've produced so far. Over the last 10 years, it has continued to evolve fantastically and is becoming the star of Bordeaux in the wine world. Absolutely divine!
