  Modern style not aging well. still lots of oak but a tad woody. Generic extraction without much terroir.

  This cork was soft and wet to within a couple of millimeters of the capsule. Yet it was intact and the wine was magnificent. This wine may need--and will permit--many more years of cellaring to reach full potential, but it showed magnificently tonight, of the present and future. The bouquet alone was myriad: taut cabernet, sour pine smoke, lard. The bouquet has years of maturity ahead. The plate is perfectly balanced but a bit dry and a bit rough. Whether or not this could attain the glycerous smoothness of a top growth remains to be seen. But it is a wonderful expression of a classic Bordeaux. Excellent terroir married to an iconoclastic proprietor.

  Nez sur les épices au départ. Évolue vers des notes de terre, ferme. En bouche puissant, ample. Tanins encore bien présents mais aucunement agressif. Le vin s assouplit au fil de temps. Final sur le cuir. Longueur moyenne. Bien agreable

  Ein jetzt schon sehr schöner, klassischer Linksufer-Bdx. Bereits schön gereift, aber braucht noch 5 Jahre bis zum Genuss-Höhepunkt. In der Nase sehr viel gereifter als auf der Zunge. Am Gaumen süßes Holz, Cassis, Graphit, das Tannin gibt einwenig Struktur, im Abgang eine freundliche, aber nicht übermäßige Médoc-Würze. Am 1. Abend ein deutlich wässeriges Gefühl, am 2. Abend – also mit mehr Luft – entwickelt sich eine tolle Dichte, die in den nächsten Jahren sicher noch einwenig zunehmen wird. 90-91 Pkte
