January 19, 2022 - Very typical and correct older Bordeaux. This has plenty of life left in it with a core of sweet black currant, charred wood and salty minerality. Drink now. 89

October 30, 2018 - Last of a half case. Very pleasant. Seemed to have better balance than some prior bottles but not really improving at this point.

November 15, 2016 - Beautifully mature! Smooth as silk with plenty of sour cherry and red currants. Minerally. Needs to be drunk quite soon, but this is quite delicious right now! 89 df 9.0

July 24, 2015 - Nice. It's fine for an old and less St Emilion

December 26, 2010 - When opened there was a lack of fruit in the nose and flavors were essentially non-existent. After about 30 minutes the wine opened and was pleasant. Soft fruit, short finish.
