Rubinrot, praktisch keine Alterstöne. In der Nase mit Zigarrenkiste, Tabak, Laub, Süssholz, Wermut, darunter dunkle Frucht, Kirschen, Cassis. Im Gaumen rund, auf den Punkt gereift, abgeschmolzene Tannine, gute Säure, ausgewogen, mit mittlerer Länge und einem herben Finale. Nicht gross, aber grossartig zu trinken. Aus einem kühlen Keller, jetzt bis 2033. 89 vvPunkte

Perfect now! Great backbone/tannins, fruit will fade in a couple of years, acidity Ok. Pair with red meat and enjoy. Should have started these 6 bottles now and consumer over the next 3 years.

Much better than three years ago. Nice soft wine, seemingly infused with blackberry and blueberry juice. Tannins fully resolved, this is finally totally ready. Not on GC level, but a good showing tonight.

Bouquet of ripe red fruit, pencilshavings, wood and spices. Secundairy aromas like wet forrest floor and wet leaves are comming throught so if you do have any bottles in your cellar, drink them now.

Better than expected, smooth, well developped tannins among the fruitness. Medium body plus, acidity also. Not as sophisticated as other cru classes however very enjoyable with the fruit not killed by oak:)

Better than I expected, less good than it should be. Decent Bdx that has evolved well over time, this is the best showing yet in my case of 6. However, it is not up to grand cru class, the aroma's remain a bit pedestrian. And the texture and tannins are not top level either. Acceptable for the price (10 years ago).

Drunk alongside an 02 Potensac and this bottle really sang. Smooth and very enjoyable. deep rich nose, almost feeling quite youthful for 11yo wine. Cassis, Cedar and light tar notes showing on the palate with medium - long length. Enjoy now or hold a few more years.

Nice colour beginning to show some age. Nose OK, slightly vegetal but showing some complexity. Fairly lean and mean in the mouth, agressive attack and short finish. Have had better cru bourgeois, even from this difficult vintage. Mediocre.

Herbal, leaf and cassis and earth aromas, medium bodied, dark red fruits and a dash of bell pepper with some dryness in the finish of this classic styled wine.

Red color with brown edge. Typical Bordeaux nose with dark berries, cassis, cedar and an hint of earthiness. Medium bodied with soft tannins a good structure. A somewhat short finish. Overall a good Bordeaux ready now but will develop for another 3-5 years.

Brilliant & clear. Nice garnet-red color, still young enough. Delicate nose, rather complex, fruity sensation, classical & typical Bordeaux in 2004 year. Well balanced, easy to drink, but not enough fullness for me. Can be drunk now through 2016.

floral nose with slight mixture of black fruits, medium bodied, mild and firm tannin, balanced palate with fruits and a long mineral finish, the slight harsh tannin and acidity show it's still a little bit young, not a bad wine for this price
