  December 24, 2020 - Good value wine, aged really well. A well constructed generic Bordeaux, not many highlights but not a single flaw. A soft and muted nose with cherries, vanilla, earthy undernotes. On mouth it is soft, with a clean palate, smooth tanins, a fruity taste of ripe red and black fruit, just not a very long finish. For the price it's a very good find, considering It's a 15 year old, doesn't feel old at all.

  April 19, 2014 - Nice! Last bottle of 12. Nothing too complex or serious, but has developed rather well. In the middle of its drinking window surely, will maybe last a few years more in a good cellar. Darkly coloured, showing no fatigue. Classic, open Bdx nose, winey rather than fruity. Firm attack, nice length, tension and some last fine-grained tannins. Very good for a Bdx Sup.

  September 12, 2010 - I thought this outperformed the Fransciscan merlot and cab at the tasting, and is less expensive. Nothing exceptional, but showing well and delivering Bordeaux cassis, coffee, tobacco, earthy cherry. Pretty expressive tonight as a pop and pour.

  March 18, 2010 - This was pleasant and straightforward with nice fruit. Structured, but the tannins have softened. A little tight on the nose perhaps, but overall pleasant.

  December 21, 2009 - This wine is not ready yet, but shows some interesting character. A good balance between fruit and terroir, shows prominent red and black fruit aromas as well as some earth, oak and a hint of tobacco. On mouth it feels a bit tannic right now but is enjoyable and balanced, shows a medium body and a moderately long finish. A classic bordeaux, not overdone and easy to drink, needs a couple of years more to be at its best, recomend to decant for a couple hours to open it and smooth the tannins.
