Très belle évolution de ce petit vin d'une grande année. Juste à point, mais peu certainement se conserver encore plusieurs années sans aucun problème. Le bouchon était en très bon état. Dès l'ouverture, les arômes envahissent la pièce. Une belle surprise.

Drank from 0.375 bottle. In the bouquet cassis and other dark berry fruits as well as some oak. On the palate juicy cassis, good acidity and tannin with still a pleasant bite. An ok standard Bordeaux cru bourgeois, but nothing really special. Ready now and it can last a few more years as well.

A soft nose with strawberries, florals and oak. Slightly watery mouth feel, not bad, but not much there. Drink them up, time may have already run out. I am getting the slightest amount of TCA so I won’t score this (85-86).

Currant, mushroom, mineral, pencil lead, and smoky herb nose. Dry, rich palate with rounded fruit flavours; long, mineral and coffee flavoured finish. 4.5/5

Classic style. Good not great. No sense of it being too old, though certainly at maturity (NB magnum.)
