Very good, especially considering the warm vintage. Just a little bricking but good color, recognizable, aromatic Gevrey nose and fulsome if straightforward mid-palate. Initially, and with food, this wine seemed balanced and relatively long on the finish, but after a few hours there seemed to be a bit of asperity. That said, this is excellent wine given the price and the vintage. Lardiere knew what he was doing,

Definite aged appearance here; very ripe nose but with nice development as well, advancing perhaps a little faster than in a less warm year. Dome gamy and mineral notes; smooth palate, fine tannins. Rich, voluptuous. Good flavour with some bloody notes on the finish.

A lot of austerity in this bottle.

Nice depth, still good acid and integrated tannin. Great QPR at under $40.

A very good village offering. Expressive nose with red berries, cranberry, plum, and black truffles / earthy finish. A very good wine for the price!
