  Classic cru bourgeois; well defined nose, age showing on the rim, classic medium body and bouquet and finish. Drinking perfectly after opening - short decant best if serving multiple people. Great food wine - complemented a hearty beef stew. Cellared since purchase. Drink up with the appropriate meal.

  Aromas and flavours of cassis, baked plums, tobacco and blueberries. In a great spot now -- tannins mostly resolved and well matched with the fruit intensity and acidity. Can go another 5 yrs. "Flabby" or over the hill, as some have said -- this wine is definitely not.

  Flabby fruit, stiff tannins. Not so good. Not sure where this is going.

  Quaffable but a tad simple. A nod to a modern style. Lacks the french funk and earth
