Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Sunday, October 9, 2016 - Half bottle. Bought on auction. Seemed as if it stood up well to time, but came from a not so great vintage. Some light red fruit, relatively dense for its age, old barnyard bdx musty nose. Gobs of sediment. I'm impressed for what I've read about the vintage, and it's a joy to have a wine from this chateau, but I've had much better elderly bdx from lesser houses in better vintages, like the 1966 brane cantenac. Drink up.
