  November 18, 2020 - Another excellent bottle from this consistent property. Excellent bouquet and still plenty of fruit. By no means over the hill.

  November 8, 2020 - Deep garnet colour with some bricking. Tasted against 1982 and 1996. Dark fruits, leather, earth. Good acidity, good tanin structure. Medium aftertaste.

  October 24, 2020 - A nice example of a mature 2003. This is a substantial wine with no coarse tannin that seems to have handled the hot vintage conditions very well. It drank well on release and now seems more relaxed and unfurled, and well balanced. The fruit is sweet and the mouthfeel is pretty smooth and dense. With good storage this will probably last another 17 years. My only quibble, and it is a minor one, is that the oak, which was noticeable on release, imparts a slightly sour/dill note in the finish. But overall very enjoyable.

  October 20, 2019 - Had no expectation for this wine! Was fantastic, wonderful nose of leather and cigar box, dark berries, cherry. Mouthfeel was showing very well integrated tanins, long and lingering, super good with roastec lamb. Last bottle unfortunately...

  April 2, 2018 - Comparé avec le 2012.
  Teinte u peu orangé. Le vin est clairement prêt à boire. Les tannins sont presque totalement disparus. Au nez ça sent le vieux, le nez est très subtile mais n'annonce rien de bon. Cela étant dit, en bouche c'est tout autre. Bonne longueur pour la gamme de pour le prix. C'est soyeux et c'est très bon.
