I have had this wine a few times and always liked it for its light-weight elegance. But I have never had it this old before, and I think I prefer it in its youth. It has become more alcoholic and the fruit feels more pruney and overripe. I think it is over the hill actually, still a nice drink though.

Tons of fruit and a touch alcoholic on the nose. In deep sleep now, and no one around the table even guessed it was a Bordeaux. Needs many more years until next tasting!

Beautiful wine! Perfect mix of energy and maturity now. We had this next to a Clerc Milon 2009, but everyone preferred Rollan de By
