  Much better than the previous bottle, this is quite nice with all the ripe, red fruits, herbs, tobacco leaf and earthy nuances. Medium-bodied, soft and fully mature, the finish combines sweet and tart red fruits. It is time to drink this if you are sitting on any.

  Probably opened much too late. This is good Bordeaux, but it’s softened too much now. The acidity has faded, and it’s left a spiced, balanced juice. Smells of faint wood, earthy, and dark plum. Finishes very short.

  A deep, dark and intense ruby color with a nut-brown hue at the rim. A lovely nose of fermented plums, black currant and sweet vanilla. I bought 12 bottles back in 2014 and I remember this wine blew me away. But when tasting this wine in 2018 it's clear that this wine "is starting to turn". The fruit is almost gone and little sourness is starting to show. Had this wine with a nicely grilled burger with a beef mixed in with blue cheese.

  Medium bodied, light in color, with a bright, red berry center of fruit, paired with spice and earthy aromatics. Simple and already mature, this is not a wine for further aging, as more time will only lighten the fruit, and exacerbate the acidity.

  Sa couleur rouge grenat avec des reflets brique est une bonne indication de son évolution (11 ans). Au départ, il m’a semblé sur sa pente descendante, mais après un certain temps au contact de l’air, il s’est dévoilé sur un beau jour. Nous étions capables de percevoir des notes complexes de cerises, d’épices, de vanille, de cuir et des notes de sous-bois. Les tanins étaient souples et nous avions des saveurs de boisé et d’épices. Le tout s’étalait sur une longue finale sur le fruit.
