January 14, 2024 - We drank this right after opening, but it would have benefitted from some air, to soften its hard edges and warm its cold soul. This wasn't too old, but there was still a suggestion of mustiness.

September 25, 2015 - Couleur pourpre, ocelle aqueuse, terne, larmes grosses, lentes et fréquentes.
Nez de cassis, de griotte et d'aronie noire. Belles senteurs de cendre et de brûlé. Fond de sous-bois.
Attaque assez ronde sur le cassis et le groseille rouge. Fond
boisé assez discret et bien intégré et de belles saveurs empyreumatiques.
Finale convenable sur des tanins assez jolis et bien fondus mais toujours existants. Très belle acidité qui rajoute de la fraicheur.
Une vin portant bien son titre de deuxième vin. Modeste, mais pas réellement critiquable sur le fond. -

February 15, 2015 - Just perfect. Slily smooth, everything just lined up as it should be. Did not decant, but I did let it breathe for 1-2 hours before dinner. I would have given it a higher score, but it did not have the depth of flavor to merit this.

September 15, 2012 - Classic Bordeaux. Not much more to say than that. Yes, it's a second wine (not always reliable), but the vintage shined through. I did not decant but let it breathe for about 1 hour or so. Improved a bit through the bottle, but mot dramatically. My guess is that it will not get much better over time, although I see no reason to panic.
