I thought it would be on the decline...actually, not at all ! The colour is still on he dark red side, nose is discreet but confirms that we are in presence ofa "noble" wine. On the palate, what comes first are the soft tanins, then a slight smoky final. Overall, a very nice balance. Drinkable up to 2025, showing that for a "second wine" it has been vinified

Needs to be open for at least 30 minutes - hour is better. This bottle was rough around the edges - bitter on the aftertaste. Overall - hanging in there.

This wine still requires at least an hour to open. Any sip earlier (even via vinturi) smells unappealingly vegetal and tastes acidic. But after that hour, oh my, what a luscious and lovely Graves, with all the notes one could ask for.

This was probably at its peak about two years ago, but it's still pretty damn good. Mature Bordeaux with soft tannins and medium to long finish.

Lovely mature Bordeaux. Fruit fading, replaced by soft tannins and pencil shavings. Drinking well now and should age for another decade.
