Probably my best Bouscassé experience so far (included Vielles Vignes and Montus). On the palate the wine is powerful wine a harmonious texture. Still some tannins but not that disturbing. The fruit is wide open and feel rounded and almost sweet, far away from the blackness of the young wine. I wish some of my Bordeaux wines would be this nice after ten years. Great value also.

Very juicy and smooth, clearly developed, with nice energetic blue fruitiness, some bitterness from paprika, mint chocolate and a little "stench" quality that I appreciate. Drinkable now with very kind tannins and over all a very homogeneous mouth-feel. This bottle was great but maybe not outstanding.

Dense, dark fruit and mint chocolate. Also a smell of horse that brings complexity. Very easy to like and absolutely drinkable already. Lacks a little personality but of course you can spot concentration and quality here. Not my cup of tea and I will not buy again but I don't regret that I tasted it.
