Bought four back when 'dumped' into Ontario market in 2017. Two were 'interesting' but hinting at being in less-than optimal condition for a 22-year-old right bank Bordeaux. You know, one wants, sometimes believes something to be more than what it is. Suffered through a couple iterations. (Pours.) Drinking the Kool-Aid has done some harm, historically. There's a fly in the ointment. Magic Marker emanating from your grade two teacher's easel. Best I can guess is ethyl acetate fault. Bring it back.

Surprised by both the colour and the amount of fruit holding on in this wine. Musty and earthy, cherry, bit of mushroom. Purchased this from the LCBO and must be from a different lot than previous comments. Very enjoyable for a 22 year old Bordeaux.

By all accounts, the lot of this wine that made it to the LCBO in Ontario, Canada is completely flawed. After hearing multiple reports of this, I sampled a bottle I purchased. Not showing at all as it should. Purely Sherry/Madeira. All of them went back.

Rien ne sert de l'attendre. Superbe flaveurs tertiaires, fondu, long, souple. Un délice.

Super beau Bordeau à maturité,rien n'accroche. Notes tertiaires de sous bois, de cuir, petite verdeur de poivron. Élégant, balancé et délectable. Wow!
