90 Points

Saturday, January 16, 2021 - Wines from this chateau always have sentimental value to me as my dad bought a case of '83 as my birth year wine.

Expected it already to be on the downward slope but it showed pretty nice. Margaux perfume on the nose. Classic bordeaux red fruits, cedar, leather some dustiness, good acidity but unfortunately also a green note. medium long finish. Good to see a 12,5%er again. This is how Bordeaux used to be I guess..

So although this Chateau is a steady underperformer for its price, I still quite like it..
