Had two bottles at two consecutive days. The first was clearly mature, medium bodied and surprisingly good. The second seemed to be a bit too young. Rating for the first bottle. Will wait a bit with my other bottles.

Smells of black plums, black currant, light tobacco, some leather and blackberry. Still fresh fruity taste of black fruit with good concentration and a long fruity and a light mature finish. Aired for 1-2 hours, can preferably do longer. Still high on fruit with easy maturing and strong tannins, but many years of cellaring will do this wine (and yourself) a favour.

Soft red and blue fruits of raspberries and blueberries with spice box and savoury grilled asparagus. Palate is rich and fresh, as you chew the wine, more savoury notes surfaced with nice minerality in the polished mid-palate. Might not have the depth and power of a classified growth, this is very drinkable now, good balance and decent finesse. Finish is smooth on a bed of velvety tannins. Drink this pop and pour, will continue to develop for the next 3 years.

Deep red. Fresh fruit driven nose. Blackcurrant, ripe plum, dark cherry, tobacco, toasted oak. Soft tannins, moderate acidity, medium bodied and finish length. Lively and youthful wine.

Intriguing nose with black currants, leather, stable, spice and wood. Medium bodied+ with nice acidity and solid tannins. Concentrated and long. Very nice indeed, and super value!

This! We loved the 2003, but this 2014 is even better. It was good when we opened it, but now having aired 5 hours and slightly closer to room temperature, it's just a stunning wine. The nose is wonderful - dark and exotic. Rolling it in your mouth, the acidity makes it explode with amazing dark berry flavors; blackberry, cherry, but with some hints of spice. And the tannins are there to keep the explosion contained - it gives structure and allows you to dwell on the complexity of flavors. A favorite

Soft, round open, easy drinking, crowd-pleasing charmer, with ripe, red fruits accompanied with licorice, smoke and tobacco leaf. This is going to be best over the next 6-8 years.

Unusual to find a well aged Medoc available by the glass - at Restaurant Didon on Rue du Dragon. C.Aubell has it on the nose.

Opened the evening before and this worked well. No harsh tannins. Still quite a chewy wine. Full bodied.

Definitely needs air. Upon opening too closed but mellows with air. Simple, straightforward Bordeaux

Mørk rød til lilla. Solbær, kirsebær, mandel og vanilje. Mye frukt og tydelig, men integrert tannin. God fylde og lengde. Bra vin!

Besøk av L&B. Fin rik lett moden Bx med god fruk. Trenger noen minutter i glasset. Da blåser hyllebusken bort. Fin vanilje og solbær

Til oksesteik i fjorden. Forsmak i vinterhagen. Kraftig lukt og smak, med solbær og rognebær . Flott vin. 2 dager: tapt seg en del, men fortsatt ok
