  Wonderful example of a great Chateau in a not so great year. Decanted and seemed at its best after 4 hours. Really very lovely and delicious. I don’t think it will improve further but it will go on for a good few years.

  Beautiful and fully mature wine with autumn forest and herbs. On the palate autumn forest impressions as well, red berries and elegant acidity, juicy and very mild tannin.

  Records not handy. Bought 12b case 17-18 years ago for less than 35/b, very likely from Sam's or Binny's; this is #3 or 4. Crumbly cork but extracted in one piece. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Bit of amber hue to the otherwise purple color; mature blackcurrant, mature black plum that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Noticeable fade two hours in. Solid performer from an underrated vintage; should hold well for at least a few more years and glad to have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. Quality, price, age: Notable+.

  Pleasing, savory, Cabernet-driven wine that shows its origin pretty well. In an ideal world it would have a little more depth and (especially) length, but at the right price it’s solid. Opened after 60 to 90 minutes of air. Nothing really tertiary yet, so no rush.
