Appearance: Bright and clear, this wine is of medium ruby color and with legs. Nose: Clean, the nose shows medium (+) intensity aromas of red fruit such as redcurrant and plum, black fruit of cassis and dark cherries, under ripeness notes of green bell pepper, oak notes of cedar, maturity notes of vegetal. The wine is developing. Palate: Dry with medium acidity, medium tannin of smooth and silky texture, the wine has medium alcohol and is of medium body with medium intensity flavors of black fruit of dark cherries, oak notes of cedar, red fruit of plum. The wine has a medium (-) finish. Conclusion: Acceptable quality Haut-Medoc with a fairly intense nose of reasonable complexity, however, the wine has some rather unripe characters associated, on both nose and palate, and the palate is particularly simple with also quite a disappointing finish. Coming from a good vintage of 2003, it is surprising about the unripeness. Ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

The nose is quite promising, but the wine, which was not too bad in 2012, is now absolutely vile. Syrupy, bitter, starting to dry out.

Gute, einnehmende und ansprechende Nase, angeschliffene Tanine, mittlerer Körper bei guter Konzentration. Zu Onglet-Frites.

Ordentlicher Trinker aber ohne jede Besonderheit.
