Very mature. Ready on PnP with classic leather, cassis, cedar, black olive. Drank very, very nicely night one, but suffered considerable fall off on night two remains. Drink.

This shows a disappointing amount of brettanomyces, masking otherwise nice raspberry, cedar, ginger, and smoky notes. When some of the brett finally blows off around hour 3, the wine is mineral focused and sanguine. Very rustic; if the brett were not there I imagine this would have been quite nice indeed. Even if you like some brett, this is annoying and interferes with finding out what's actually there.

Wow, really good bottle! Almost 10 years since I last tried this. Medium bodied, red currant, strawberries, a hint of cedar and creme brûlée. Very long finish. Very elegant, mature, but still vibrant! Delightful claret.

Light elegant fruit combined with nice acidity, dried figs, syrup, with time in the glass the wines develops flavours of blueberries and inky tones, slight cedar typical of a St Julien. This good chateau should not be forgotten by bdx lovers.

JH tasting. Some funky notes, but surprisingly fresh
