    February 13, 2019 - Opened not decanted. After an hour it opened up a bit. Pretty ruby to brick at the edges. Very light tears. Soft tannins, decent bit of fruit left. Nice old BDXbut not special.

    December 20, 2017 - Drinking well, but no hurry. Dark fruit, drying tannin. This bottle got better with air and was better with food than by itself.

    December 2, 2017 - Opened and decanted before drinking after 1/2 hr. Cork was dry and broke (should have used the Durant!)...

    Youthful but not especially fantastic BDX. Cast a LOT of sediment, was the bottle flawed? Plenty of fruit, acid, tannins but not really integrated for whatever reason. I guess it cost $20 for a reason...

    The next day it really hadn't improved at all.

    October 28, 2017 - Über zwei Tage getrunken. Gefällt gut. Meine erste Reaktion war nach dem Eingießen: der Wein ist auf dem Höhepunkt, nicht darüber! Würde ich nicht dekantieren. Vorsicht mit zu viel Luft! Schöne Nase. Würze, gute Frucht, mehr rote als dunkle Füchte. Klassischer Haut-Medoc aus heißem Jahr mit hohem Alkohol. 13% Vol. laut Flasche. Viel Bodensatz.
    Von Jochen D. 2010 für 13,33 € erworben. 89 Punkte.
    Bis 2020.

    January 4, 2016 - Rather boring wine, lacking structure and thrill. The vintage was just to hot for lots of Producers.

    (Cambon la Pelouse) Bordeaux Bargain Dear Friends, I sound like a broken record but we get more requests for everyday, well-priced Bordeaux than almost anything else. When I can find a stash that is in perfect shape, I jump. This wine is about value and quality - it’s another bottle that does not need intellectual discourse to convince your taste buds that it’s a perfect Tuesday night quencher. I’ve had this wine several times in bottle and it’s a great buy and is just what it should be for those looking for a toned down, lighter Pape-Clement-style approach (i.e modern) in a well-priced package. A top value: ONE SHIPMENT ONLY AT THIS PRICE 2003 Cambon la Pelouse (Haut-Medoc) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Bord8811
