My notes are, like most of them, written without knowing what I had in the glass, but I want to tell that explicitly with this wine, because this was an EXPERIENCE! Deep dark carmine. Fruit and oak in a mature, complex and very attractive bouquet. Beautifully full bodied, soft cassis, liquorice, soft but firm tannin, good acidity and very harmonious. Long and complex aftertaste. A great beauty! A very complete wine with everything you can want to expect; complex, soft and powerful and a lot of character. This wine is not a bit too old. Better; this wine can last for at least another 5 to 10 years. What a wine! After seeing what it was I decided to visit this chateau the next trip I made to Bordeaux.

Ripe red berries, leather, mushroom, earth…in the mouth it’s juicy and fleshy, still has tannic grip. All travel long. Lovely

Garnet, some separation at the edge. Spicy, floral nose. Delicate, almost Burgundian palate, but with a cassis element. Fantastic at 55 yrs
