First of six bottles bought at auction. As with the 2000 from the same château, this has rusticity written all over it though very different in style. Upon opening a bit muted nose with some lactic notes and the smell of canned cherries. Compared to the 2000 this has less stuffing but presents itself also a lot friendlier due to less harsh tannins. Still very palatable and friendly considering its age. Pnp and drunk on its own. Very well aged Cru bourgeois and absolutely nothing wrong with this, even attractive in an odd way…if you like old wines. This wine will fade gently in the next two decades or so.

Beautiful and mature bouquet with some chocolate and also still some cassis as well as earthy impressions. Same on the palate. Good acidity and a long finish. Pleasant and mature wine.

Cherries, bit yeast in the midtaste.
