Showing well at this young age, but would benefit from more time in bottle. The mid-palate is a bit dull because of its youth, but will develop over time.

Excellent wine. Drank at St. Martin for Sam’s dad’s birthday. Recommended by the sommelier. Earthy aroma, but wasn’t able to pick out specifics. Medium body. Soft tannins and very approachable. Immediately drinkable. Very well balanced. Highly recommend.

This wine is rather charming and red fruited, but unfortunately, due to vintage or some other circumstance, plays down rather than up. After a sniff or two and some air, it tastes more like a Pedesclaux or a Chasse Spleen. A bit pedestrian against the 18 and 19

First of two bottles. Decanted 90 minutes. Deep purple. Intense aromas and flavours of toasty oak, cherries, wax crayon, flowers, cassis. M+ body, high acid, XD, medium-high tannins, medium alcohol (13.5%). Long finish. VG-outstanding quality. Can drink now but may improve with another 5+ years in the cellar. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVO4y3rQFRA for an interview with the Chateau (start at 12:00) and mention of the 2017 vintage in particular.

Green and disjointed; a one hour decant not withstanding. An infant to revisit visit in five years.
