August 19, 2022 - Aromatique complexe de bordeaux évolué avec des fruits rouges, du sous-bois quelques notes sanguines et de tabac. C'est très joli et surtout très net après une heure d'aération.
Bouche de bonne densité, très classe, avec un joli grain velouté. La finale est modeste tant en intensité qu'en persistance sans doute limitée par le millesime.
Je n'en attendais pas tant, 1979 n'étant pas un millésime de premier plan et au final le vin s'est avéré delicieux ! -

January 28, 2018 - I was surprised at how good this was, the red berries were vibrant, fresh and sweet. Not quite high toned, but on the red fruit side, with a touch of fresh apple is medium bodied, offering tobacco and forest notes to make things more interesting. Not a wine I would hold, but if you see a bottle, it is worth taking a chance on.

June 22, 2016 - A subtile delicate wine that held up to rack of lamb with rosemary mustard glaze, still with some fruit and nice tannins.
