This was my first “serious” Claret from this vintage and also my first bottle from this Chateau and I have to say I was impressed with both. The balance was spot on, the tannic structure was there but in no way over powerful. There was some classic cedary fruit sensations on the palate. Overall it all added to a very pleasing accompaniment to rack of lamb. I would certainly buy again.

Too young. I would not open this for 2 years minimum. The makings are there for a very good wine.

Too young for me; quite tannic and rather dry. However it does have dark fruit and power that seems positive for midterm future 90+

Blackberry, cassis, hint of gravel; smooth, substantial, medium length, some structure, good but a little dull and a little closed
