  I think this Chateau is the most underrated of all the 5th Grand Cru Classé wines.
  I won't complain, because thanks to that I could buy this gem for just 26€.
  Let's get to the business.
  2 hours in the decanter
  ⏰🕙
  This wine has all the attributes of the Paulliac AOC.
  Sweet aromas of blackberry, black cherry, smoke, cedar, black currant.
  Taste?
  It's about the same! Plus nice spice. But perfect acidity and tannins ( I think this juice is at its peak), balance and harmony, highly drinkable and sophisticated...and do you remember my remarks about one more important factor?
  Yes! Happiness *
  Here we go!
  I'm happy to drink this wine 🍷😎
  And happiness is priceless, isn't it?

  Winefield's pre sale tasting: lovely colour, good fruit, firm. classic midtaste, good bitters and noticeable tannins, still with a future; a surprise for me.

  Institute of Masters of Wine - 2011 Bdx Tasting (Hyatt, San Francisco): Fertilizer, weedy green notes. Not my favorite.

  Good style here, but lots of tannin that will need cellaring. Could use better focus, but a solid wine for the money.
