Mature bouquet with dark berries, coffee and some celery. Same on the palate, good acidity and tannin with still a soft bite. The wine is fully mature now and a great pleasure.

Drank two bottles and served them with a Boeuf Bourgignon. An excellent St Estephe wine with a great nose and a typical elegeant taste. It is indicated here that it should have been served earlier. I don't agree. My bottles was on the top.

Deep garnet, developed nose. Fully à point, with cigar box, dark berries/black cherries, smoke, mineral. Crisp attack, middle weight, fully integrated with crisp acidity. Flavors as per nose - a respectable Cru Bourgeois claret. Full palate coverage, with notes of smoked meats, mineral, black tea. . . . delicately integrated tannins. Finish a bit short but clean and correct. Appetizing and not over-reaching. Lovely, showing its breed without pretension.

Fully mature, medium bodied, more red fruit than black, this earthy, tobacco, leafy scented wine requires drinking over the next few years.
