September 25, 2021 - Celebrating big occasion, and the wine did it's part. Rich. Concentrated. Delicate. Intense. Decanted, very needed due to lots of sediments. First time we had a wine from this castle. Splendid!
March 21, 2021 - Complex nose here, with smoky tones, cedar chest and maybe an iodine note as well. Lighter-bodied on the palate. Given the vintage, this is drinking pretty decently at this point, with a savory finish. No indication of decline here at this time.
December 9, 2020 - tasted blind, no idea it was so old and evn guess new world, an amazing show for a weak vintage, good till the last drop, the cellar must be really good to age so nicely.
July 8, 2019 - Mouth drying tannins, lots green bell pepper, definitely past its peak but still quite enjoyable.
Still yet elegant and classy bit lacks the Grand vin-feeling
This is a weak vintage for sure and I would not have bought this one again
April 5, 2019 - Bordal chez PG (100% Bordeaux) (Collex-Bossy (Genève)): Non chemisée. Jolie couleur grenat, assez brillante et claire. Nez avec des arômes de fruits rouges et de poivrons pour souligner le manque de maturité.
La bouche est néanmoins agréable, le vin est bien vinifié et il fait une belle bouteille légère.
Finale correcte.
A boire .
January 21, 2018 - Light and soft, with a core of red berries. Fine acidity, but lacking weight. By now this is past it´s prime so better drink up, still a rather pleasing red bdx, with a fine, mature feeling about it. Feels fragile but elegant.
October 8, 2017 - Popped and poured a sample taste before dinner later today.
Great Bordeaux nose, with a distinct tobacco/cigar box note that is very appealing.
Somewhat dilute on the palate, though - a nice "luncheon claret", with blackberry fruit and good acidity. Given the vintage, still in pretty good shape, but probably a wine best drunk up over the next decade.
July 26, 2017 - Bouteille et bouchon impeccables. Mid neck. Robe rubis avec traces de dilution sur les bords du disque. Arômes de tabac, de poivrons aussi, d'herbes qui en faisaient un joli nez. En bouche, léger manque de matière, âpreté présente, uniforme, un peu court.
Sans doute un des bordeaux de ce (très) petit millésime.
À terminer.
February 24, 2017 - Disappointing for producer and QPR. very mediocre Bdx.
October 14, 2016 - Incredibly fresh and green - needs serious decanting to open up. Still.
