Blanco supplied for our French wine dinner at CKH. Nose of red fruit, some must, some forest floor/barnyard. Nice flavors of red berries and spice on the palate, with good acidity and commensurate weightiness. Nice enough burg but less compelling than one would expect of a grand cru in terms of complexity, balance, and sophistication.

This wine welcomes in the Autum season. We had 6 pretty classic wines, I think the nose on this excelled. Nose of autum leaves, crisp in the air, roses still vying for dominance. Lots of depth. This wine was ready to go from the beginning. Maintained strength for several hours. Palate was cherry, quite bitter pit, not lush.
I love this wine for the nose. Takes me elsewhere.

Lovely red-fruited nose with a bit of forrest floor. This has certainly put on some weight over the last couple of years. It might lack some depth and complexity for a grand cru but it is very tasty. Fresh and elegant.

Brickish color, but still vibrant, super floral nose, good fresh fruits, and integrated, quite subtle and complex, integrated. Generous out of the gate, was very open after 1-2 hours in the decanter. May lack that multi dimension and a tad short on the finish, but sure offers pleasure. Very nice. Early prime spot.

This needs 90 min to open up. Light bodied, medium balance, average finish, no heat. Average value. Should reach prime in 3-5 years and last another 10.
