December 18, 2022 - A bit past its prime but still pretty good. Cherry and vanilla, with a bit of sediment.
November 14, 2020 - On the nose, oak and leather. Medium body. On the palate, juicy, ripe tannins with long finish. Good acidity. Archtypical Bordeaux, that is drinking well now +5 years. A very good buy for the price (in Norway around 45 USD).
October 12, 2020 - Quite disappointing. Strong note of earth. Lack of character beside this note of earth. Not very much interesting to say about this wine
October 5, 2020 - Very smooth operator with a creamy texture of ripe fruits. Quite powerful oak use gives it a caramel smokey hint without being too overwhelming. Very enjoyable early mature Pessac without being too complex. Provided drinking window is maybe too pessimistic, think this will last for 5 years at least.
September 27, 2020 - Excellent, complex, earthy Pessac-Leognan showing very prominent tannins and deep red color. Drinks like a very young wine still. Wonderful with 2h of air then served with steak. You might want to hold off opening for another 3 to 5.
July 13, 2020 - A great value wine, which is drinking well straight from the bottle.
December 5, 2019 - Perfect time to enjoy this easygoing French red blend. Not pretentious but with a hint of a fine French red.
May 11, 2019 - Not overwhelming. Smooth with tobacco and vanilla.
January 6, 2019 - what a turn-arround - tasted a bottle in 2014 and it was really lean and un-giving. Now it has a nose of currant and cherries, leather, and that typical wet gravel that you miss in some of the more modern late harvest graves wines....all mirrored on the palate. still quite strong tannin and acidity so will improve further I am sure.
Classic classified Graves - bravo
September 17, 2018 - Medium bodied, fresh, bright and almost crisp, there is a strong leafy component that is interspersed with the bright red, dried fruits and smoky, tobacco notes here.
