  Hard to find a lot of detail about this wine except that it’s one of the final vintages under Moueix ownership before the sale to the current owners and from what I can tell, Christian Moueix was in charge of winemaking at the chateau during the period leading up to the sale.
  This was from a library release sale.
  After a rough decant the cloudiness settled and after an hour this wine was singing. Throughout the nose was beautiful and very complex and sometime before we poured the last glasses it rounded out and became quite lush with that powdery fine tannin Older Bordeaux goodness. The fruit came into focus too-voila what a great bottle.

  Deep ripe berry aromas with a woodsy note. Mouthfeel has some sour cherry notes with nice tannins. However muted mouthfeel, somewhat dry and past it’s prime.

  Exceptional wine, with robust fruit notes of blueberry and brambly wild berries with hints of smokiness on nose with soft tannins and a pleasant mouthfeel.

  PnP. Pale colour with hints of orange. Some fruit at first, but everything was gone within an hour, leaving only a taste of leather and alcool. Still has some acidity. Pleasant to drink, but i wish i opened this bottle earlier.
