Double decanted, light colour, rose scented mineral fruit on the nose, relatively complex and heady. Pallete has good acidity and fruit, very enjoyable, hardly tastes 20yrs old. (4217 views)

This bottle was an attempt to find value in Bordeaux, i was pleasantly surprised, located parallel to Pauillac this Chateau produces good wine. The nose has a pronounced complexity, cedar/pencil nose reminds me of St Julian. The palette is light to medium but carries the complexity from the nose. Overall I'm impressed and will watch this Chateau going forward. (2672 views)

In my opinion this wine is now over the hill, on opening the nose gave off very little and was very vacant, the same on the pallet. Fin. (2897 views)

Popped and poured, I wouldn't recommend a decant personally. Lovely casisy nose with mature secondary smells, on the pallets again soft aged fruit, very pleasant. I'd say this bottle has a life span of about an hour after opening so don't do what I did and open it on your own. (2221 views)

Coffee'd dark fruit nose, seems more merlot although apparently 50/50 blend. Pleasant smooth palette, I feel this is a £12 bottle, so I overpaid but their wise enjoyable. (2751 views)

Some nice initial aromas once opened but these quickly vacated to leave an over the hill bottle of wine, im sure it was probably pleasant a couple of years ago but while drinkable now lacks any depth of character. (2164 views)

Initial thoughts are that this is impressive, nose is a warm smoke and coffee cassis, quite heavy. The palette the blend is concentrated a pleasant blend of fruity cassis, this bottle has matured well and is ready to go, i doubt it will inprove. Good value bordeaux. (4535 views)

Orange rim, the colour displays some age. Nose is muted but soft, gives off a little earth and fruit, it seems well integreated. The Pallete is well balanced, very smooth and soft, some simple light fruit but not much. Overall a pleasant simple wine which is probably a little old but still acceptable. I wouldnt decant this.

This seems to be in a good early drinking window, this certainly benefits from a couple of hours in a decanter, the nose is very interesting, quite complex and layered with spice and earth and substantial fruit. The pallete is smooth & well integrated. Had with slow cooked lamb, this is excelent value. (4190 views)

There's no question in my mind that this has moved on, it has done so in a good way. The nose has a structured mineral, spiced cherry nose, not dense, quite light but all in the correct place. Mouthfeel is very well structured, soft fruit, very simple but elegant. Great QPR, great fun, I'd buy this again and cellar for a few years. (1851 views)

I certainly haven't credited this wine enough in my previous two reviews. I bought a case from C&B at around October last year, I'm a fan of complex bourgogne Chardonay and this impresses, it has a wonderful layered toasted mineral earth nose, similar to Chassagne Montrachet style. The palette is light and fresh while still exuding the same complex buttery full flavours. I rate this wine highly for its price. (1238 views)

Different from your typical "Bourgogne" this is more refined and complex. This nose has aged to produce a complex, concentrated butter, mineral and hazelnut scent. The palette is similar to the nose however I feel it's starting to fade on the palette, I would argue that this wine should be drunk this year. (1612 views)
