  March 25, 2024 - From magnum at the Chateau. Tabac and cigarbox, but still some fruit left in aromas.

  September 1, 2023 - Cedar, mint, tobacco, cigar wrapper, spice, dried flowers, and forest leaves with red berries drive the character of this soft-textured, fresh, albeit, short, medium-bodied wine. This is past its prime and if you own any, it needs to be drink up sooner than later. Drink from 2023-2025.

  Medium brick red, orange tinged, 5.
  Intriguing bouquet, herbaceous, cool, cedar, really complex .
  Harmonious palate, lT, h-A, m-B, dry, elegant well balanced, long finish,
  Drink now -onwards.
  What a surprise - I guessed late 1980's

  March 16, 2023 - Again corked, but revealing pleasant tertiary aromas between the "curtains". Pity.

  June 13, 2021 - Très joli nez : fruits mûrs, tabac, poivron rouge, notes fumées et épices. Belle attaque pleine, avec du volume et de la présence. Le grain est complètement patiné. Malheureusement, la bouche ne tient pas la distance avec une suite moins précise et sur une sensation de dilution.
  Finale aromatique avec de belle notes ferreuses et sanguines mais d'une persistance limitée.
  
  Au meilleur après 1h d'ouverture, ce joli bordeaux mature manque d'un peu de fond et de profondeur pour convaincre complètement. Mais ça reste une belle bouteille !
