My favorite Baudry wine due to it's relative price to satisfaction ratio, availability and the fact that I love somewhat rustic, mature wines. Dull, almost hazy crimson hue, with little to no bricking. Beautiful aromatics from the get go. A melange of red berry fruits, pencil lead and baking spices. Lacy, complete, engaging, mature, dare I say Burgundian in texture, with barely a hint of green bell pepper. Just a wonderful and delicious Grezeaux that has shed it's baby fat and has begun what seems to be a nice drinking plateau. Bought a 6-pack on release, have 3 more to enjoy. Do not hesitate to open a bottle.

This cab franc looks and smells delicious - the taste is a bit of a challenge - some fruit present but really secondary and tertiary flavors with tons of smoke. Will let it evolve a bit.

Drinking very well with potential for 5-10 years. Excellent on the first day, outstanding the second. Length and complexity , a really stinky nose, acidity and a graphite mineral core with dark plum fruits.

Final bottle. A little feral and bloody in the best way. Good depth of fruit. Needs a bavette or duck.
