  October 15, 2023 - A bunch of us bought a bunch of this on indent 40 years ago. It was spectacular and very cheap. An early drinker while more serious wines aged. I bought this at auction from a good cellar for old times sake. Medium scarlet in colour, bricking at the edges, a sound bottle. Roasted plummy merlot fruit dominates at first opening, plus camphor. Similar palate with sweet plummy merlot fruit, so sweet i wonder if there is some residual sugar? Some Pomerol coffee, sour cherry and brambles on the finale. Better on day 2 and needs protein 17.75.

  February 1, 2023 - The nose on this one was not appealing. Kind of medicinal. Palate better. Sour cherry fruit. Tannic finish

  June 5, 2020 - Advanced orange color. Musty, off-putting. Improves with air but unimpressive. ? spoiled

  April 15, 2015 - A wonderful surprise. Super colour, super fresh nose and a notable success for de Sales. Great stuff. No signs of decline at all - should last for several years yet.
