September 2, 2022 - Has lost some fruit but still very smooth. No tannins. Flavors of raisin and a bit of leather. Enjoyed w rib eyes.
July 28, 2018 - Fully mature Bordeaux with a crimson brickish color. Nose of earth, tobacco, and scant fruit. Tastes of plums, leather, and tobacco. This Bordeaux is very smooth; it’s tannins are fully integrated. Medium bodied with a short finish. Probably would have been better 5-6 years ago.
June 21, 2017 - peaking now w/tobacco, leather & earth......
October 31, 2016 - at its peak once aired for an hour
December 6, 2012 - A bit thin.
March 9, 2008 - Appearance: 8
Nose: 26
Palate: 40
Balance: 9
Valuation: *** A good classic and very well tasting Haut-Medoc, that laks a little bit of personality.
Maturity: Now - 4 years
September 28, 2004 - Color is a clear brick red, traditional and not promising any block busting. The nose was clean showing a dusty cigarbox and some cedar. On the palate, there was marked acidity, a bit of earthy fruit, a light body and drying, but not obtrusive, tannins. A perfectly fine wine with dinner, but it isn't something you would sip for pleasure on its own. With a few more years the tannins may recede a bit more and sweeten the package.
