    November 12, 2023 - Was expecting a light, developed luncheon claret with cedar and cigar box. Not a bit of it! Still young, fruit is still to the fore and riper than I thought it would be. Very Ruby, no bricking. At the risk of sounding like I have a bad case of le gout l’anglais this needs more time. Come back 2025. 3.5

    December 19, 2017 - the time to drink this up is 2018 till 2021. not bad at all, solid medoc for heavy, meaty (fat) meals. very tasty and spicy. for ex. a couscous, this can be a very fine match ! the price was excellent, PRQ is so, too !!
