12/17/23, 5:03 PM - Thanks @zimmy07. I will let these sit for a few years and try them over time. Agree what you mean but I certainly didn’t find the PC10 over extracted. To be honest I’m not a huge drinker of Bordeaux generally - it’s just not a wine I turn to that often when there are so many other regions I prefer - and I did find this generally underwhelming. However I will wait as you suggest and let’s see how it develops. Happy drinking to you!

12/21/21, 9:37 PM - Thanks for your comment and to be honest im completely embarrassed by this note! I’ve learned that cotat wines just take proper time to come good and the remaining bottles I had were excellent. I’ve never experienced a wine that transforms so much before in my life. Those first bottles were litterally undrinkable - but a few years later the balance was there and they were a delight! I think I did leave a later tasting note which said the same
12/12/21, 7:55 AM - Thanks! I don’t see much upside to cellaring this at this level - think it’s in a great spot to enjoy now
8/5/21, 11:29 AM - Thanks Rimbe! Shame for you too and it’s pretty poor to have such a high failure rate! Hope you are drinking well
5/8/21, 2:31 AM - Hello. Yes it’s the same one. I’ve never seen the label with that written in it though - the label is the same as in the picture on CT - it just says Belle Époque but it’s the same wine yes
12/8/20, 11:58 AM - Thanks gteran76 - I will wait till 22 as you suggest! Agree the producer if fab and I have a fair few of their reds which I love
6/18/20, 2:28 PM - That’s a fair question and I debated 87 or 88. I do think 88 is fair. The wine still has its charms and the purity of fruit was lovely. And as I said it did actually improve a little. 88 is a fairly low score anyway, especially at this level. But yes seriously disappointing. Do you think this could improve with time or is this level of acidity pretty much permanent?
10/13/19, 11:48 PM - Sorry - both my score and bite are wrong! I meant to score this 93 and realise my note makes no sense! Am amending it now!
9/9/18, 2:04 PM - Thanks so much for the comment. That was pointed out at the tasting yes and certainly helps explain the quality of this wine. See my note on the 1959 Château Léoville Las Cases for the WOTN!
10/27/16, 3:18 AM - Thanks for the comment pc79 - you have tempted me to try this wine again in a better year
11/12/15, 3:43 AM - Thanks Arch57 and BuzzzzOff - now corrected and yes indeed you are right I did like the wine very much! And I must try that trick too, although I have before pretended that I have opened 2 bottles of the same wine and made sure that I drunk from the other decanter...
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
