Tasted at the Chateau. Nice entry BDX. Boasts ample beefy notes, cassis and plum. Slightly thin on mouthfeel but has a satisfying floral finish.

Tasted at the Chateau. This is the bigger of the two red bordeauxs offered. Aromas of dusky cherry and earth. Herbaceous, clove, leather, black currant and beetroot were present on the palate. Finish was lengthy, but rough around the edges

Well rounded red fruit, smoke, slate and cassis. Palate was medium weight, but smooth and offered a kick of black olive and mocha towards the end-interesting. Tasted at the Chateau, with a lovely private tour of cellar room and vineyards.

Not as ready to drink as the les Ailes de Paloumey, this needs more bottle time. It was very green, offering tabacco leaf, eucalyptyus and sharp black fruit. It was tart and tanninc, but with good potential.

Very dark cranberry in color. A bit of barnyard funk on the nose with sandalwood, smoke and black currants. Palate was light and medium bodied with black and red fruits, toasted vanilla and a good dose of minerality and loam. Finish was smooth, but not at all lengthy.

This had been decanted several hours by the Chateau madame and what a difference I am sure it made. Mostly Petit Verdot (but I failed to note the percentage). Concentrated ripe blackberries, dried figs and cigar box aromas. The palate didn't quite match up to the nose, but it produced subtle black fruit, coffee, and a hint of yeast. Finish was generous with mineral, fruit, spice and so very silky. This was my favorite at the Chateau.
