Spectacular nose for the first few minutes, sweet red mineral fruits mingling nicely to the point that you're rather easily mistaken presented as a first growth, but sadly only last a moment or two! The palate is a different story which is rather simple, pure red leathery fruits, a bit sharp with a short finish! Going well with nicely cooked food!

No formal notes. Medium bodied with a firm amount of acidity. Certainly an ok Bordeaux, but nothing spectacular and not showing real finesse and complexity. The small leftover was dead and gone the next day, so probably wise to drink this wine before the end of 2013.

dull red. very nice nose of currant, tobacco, cedar and a hint of spice. Medium weight, nicely balanced palate, decent acids, and good balance. Very correc Bdx. Good match with grilled steaks. Drinking well now.

More Youthful meniscus but thinner looking than 2001 du cru itself. Slight harsh tannins but not quite enough fruit

This wine has in a less concentrated form the taste of a Ducru. The wine is mature and ready to drink.
