It is almost the same story every time with this wine. Certainly ok and well above average to good, but for a 5th growth it is very mediocre. I bought many bottles of this wine in the 80’s because I was impressed with the 1982 when it was young. And although never bad, it is a bit boring. I will stop buying this wine until there are real signs of improvement. This glass was ok as well. Creamy, round, good acidity, but no real distinction.

Winefield's pre-sale tasting 9/22: tea leaves, minerals, friendly bouquet and midtaste, only in the finish the age gives some unbalances.

Not a really great wine, but not bad either. Firm, little oak, little acidity. Is ready now.

A little disappointing. Full bodied and fruity and pleasant acidity, but lacks refinement.
