  January 20, 2022 - Hot as heck, smelling of gin and licorice and raisins. Bitter and alcoholic. Stewed fruit. Completely cracked up. Dumped. Can't believe the Garandeau family would put their name on this.

  September 18, 2020 - Still drinking well. Bit of tar, plenty black plum and blackberry fruits. Solid structure, medium length.

  June 16, 2019 - 1-009. Bought a case of 12 at an auction last year for about 14 Euro a bottle. It was Father's Day today so why not enjoy a claret ;-) Typical classic Bordeaux eucalyptus, menthol, pine tree; very recognizable. Before decanting also a fair amount of cherry and tobacco, but especially the tobacco fades after a while. Good: a fair and honest bottle, holding up well after 10 years and will give more pleasure I am sure.
  I just bought a case of the 2010 vintage and will soon see how it compares to 2009!

  December 14, 2018 - Purchased on recommendation from store worker. Nice little mature and inexpensive wine from a great vintage. No complaints. Would drink again but not seek out.

  August 17, 2018 - Deep ruby. Shedload of dark fruits, blackberry and plum. Wall of tannin. Bit of dark meatiness. Decent acidity, moderate length. But immoderate alcohol. Much better the next evening with a great grilled steak.
