Classique Rive-Droite. Odeur de terre et feuille morte, bouche droite, encore du fruit. Finale suave de longueur correcte. Est maintenant à maturité. (89/90)

Nose shows some jammy red currants. The palate is a bit more evolved with the fruit transitioning quickly to mushrooms and woody spices. Tannins are round and mostly disolved balanced by very medium acidity. Just past the peak.

On its last legs but still a beautiful wine. Almost transforming into an Amarone at this stage. But throwing quite a bit of sediment. Overwhelming forest-floor funk on the nose but round and balanced flavors. Drink now or last year. Cheers.

Blackberries and prune on the nose. The jammy dark fruits are also upfront on the palate, with notes of walnuts good acidity and tannic structure on the finish. A simple but elegant Bordeaux.

Very nice merlot wine with prune aroma and fully integrated tannins. No need to wait any longer.

- Ruby color with medium forming legs and aromas of phenolic and has flavours of dusty - Opens up after 2 hours, no need to decant. Very nice wine!
