What a fantastic suprise this one was. Perfectly ripe wine with silky tannins, nice minerality and this unexpected sweet inner fruitcore which makes it still so enjoyable right now. Nothing really to add to jour et nuits tasting notes. Old school winemaking with great representation of this lovely st. estephe terroir. You really taste and feel that this wine was made in the vineyard and not in the lab.

First bottle of an OWC-12 auctioned in 2021-06. No risk no fun! PnP. Clearly upper shoulder ("IN"). Cork fine (3 mm soaked and very elastic). Some sediment. Only 12,5 vol. % Alc.. This is pure velvet. Some fruit left in the mid-palate. The finish is more or less dry. What a nice surprise for a little Cru Bourgeois of Saint-Estèphe after 26 years. Price point ridiculous low (22 € / bottle all fees included).

Robe : évoluée avec des reflets orangés, mais ne fait pas son âge. A l'agitation, on a de belles larmes. Nez : Sur le cèdre, mais avec encore quelques fruits noirs comme le cassis. Puis, vient des arômes de boite à cigare. En bouche : les tanins sont bien fondus, c'est très agréable. C'est un vin en demi-corps avec une belle persistance en bouche. Très bien + Et Excellent R.Q.P

Second bottle of an OWC-12. In fact, by far better than the Sociando-Mallet 2006, we had just before.
