Nose a nice mix of fruit, and secondary notes. Red and Black currant, blackberry, maybe a bit of cherry, cigar box, leather, roast meat. At least for this taster, this is pretty close to peak. Palate showing similar flavors. Good acid, mineral. Tannins largely integrated, but very present. Plenty of fruit still there, but definitely showing secondary notes. Oak notes ae integrterd, but noticeable. It is a bit rustic, and the finish is not terribly long, but this is a really strong producer from the Haut Medoc doing really nicely with a tough vintage.

Was looking for a late night sip, and had a 375 ml bottle of this. Cellar Tracker tasting notes indicated it was past its prime, so I thought no use saving it. The notes were on point, whatever complexity was originally there was gone. It was almost undrinkable upon opening, but after 30 min it was definitely ok but no better.

PnP. Dark red, yellow tinged, 5.5. Generous mature bouquet, pencil, cedar box, classic Haut-Medoc. Well balanced harmonious palate, mT, mA, mB, tannins on retreat, elegant finish. Drink now - 2030
