A solid Cru Bourgeois. Ripe and fleshy with tertiary leather and cigar notes developing. Tannins are sweet and completely integrated. A real pleasure at this stage, with a good 5+ left in the tank.

Solid entry level St Estephe. Ripe, juicy cassis fruits and black berries, a sliver of green pepper, leather and earthy tilled soil. Fleshy palate, ripe sweet tannin. Just about entering its drinking window but would push these for another 5-10 years as I suspect they will become quite lovely once real maturity and age set in. HOLD.

Muted nose but pnp so perhaps did not give it much chance. Earthy, much softer, fruitier and sweeter than I expected with soft dusty tannins left dancing on the gums. Delicious drop and decent QPR for a vintage that was often overpriced at the time.

Quite ripe and sweet for the vintage with dark fruits, notes of coffee and bell pepper. The palate is soft and fruity, not a lot of tannic structure left here. I doubt that this is built for the long haul. But it is a delicious drink now with a beautiful fruit expression and a very full, mouthfilling taste. 16.5/20

Dark red. Very aromatic. Lots of fruit. Full bodied. Not heavy. Prefer wines with less filtration. Very good but seems a bit made.
