  The most structured of the trio of ‘14-‘16. Quite refined and polished if a bit closed at this point. Well balanced, poised, with fine pure red fruit notes and oak well judged. I’m optimistic about the rest of my bottles. Give this at least another 5yrs.

  2 hour decant
  N: nice bordeaux perfume from decanter, in glass menthol, cassis, vanilla and tobacco leaf
  P: as nose plus milk chocolate
  The wine feels open with prominent but fine grained tannins. I like the attack and medium plus finish, the weak spot is the mid-palate which is too thin to make the wine stand out but which also makes it a great accompaniment to food.

  Classic Bordeaux with cassis, earthiness, medium tannins and soft acid. Very well balanced with medium - long finish.
  
  Update: Opened up a bit on day 2, with some blueberry and black raspberry more prominent in the mouth. I don't see it improving markedly, for my taste, with years more aging, as some have suggested.

  One of my go-to Bordeaux at this price-point. Really rich, with deep black fruits. Excellent value. Held up extremely well on day #3, after vacuum seal.

  But avec un plat de braisé d'agneau, un pure délice. D'un rouge ruby, des l'ouverture ont sent bien le fruit rouge, que ce vin semble acre et tanique. Des la première gorgée on remarque toute la complexité dans sa simplicité. Ce vin se bois aisément. Moelleux et savoureux en bouche. Je recommande de le carrafer 1h avant.
  Cabernet Sauvignon 48 %, Merlot noir 40 %, Cabernet franc 10 %, petit Verdot 2 %; 2.3 gr de sucre 13% d'alcool.
