Unfortunately this Cru Artisan winery outside of Macau has stopped selling its wine as the owner died. This is a real shame as the wine was really tasty. Typically understated Haut-Medoc with lovely modern aromas of plums, cream, chocolate and cassis. Its medium bodied elegant and neat palate has got density and power on the attack and on the plumpish satiny and deliniated oaky fruity mid section and ends short to medium long.

Highlight of the night. There are so many subtle nuances to this wine. The hint of barnyard funk is integrated perfectly with red ripe fruits and wild flowers. I can nose this one all night. Flavor profile is right on balanced, soft, and a long finish. Wish i had more.

Wow, wow, wow, this has come along nicely since my previous bottle last year. After a short 1 hour decant the funky barnyard nose of previous bottles has mellowed a bit but is still there. Classy Bordeaux earthy nose, abundant dark fruit with perfect balance. It will be hard to stay away from the remaining bottles. Just how great will the 05's be?

Delicious. Classic Bordeaux notes of earth and funk, with full-bodied fruit and just enough tannin backbone. Drinking well now but will be fine for at least 2 more years.
