Dark red. Cassis and leather aromas with hint of spice on the nose. Lovely crisp black fruit flavour, oak mellowed, bone dry. After two hours in a decanter starting to fade. After the first hour really on form. Great food wine.
Relatively transparent and light ruby. Lovely Medoc aromas of leather, and even a little pencil, in the beginning. After a couple of hours, less so. Tight, tart and quite tannic. Due to the tightness I guess it will last for several years, still. -without improving much, though. Not a crowd pleaser. With food only!

excellent rapport qualité prix. à son apogé depuis 5 ans, mais je ne sais pas s´il va tenir encore. Maintenant très agréable à boire avec beaucoup de tertiaires, champignon, sous-bois...

Nice fruit and respectable backbone. Aromas of leather, cigar box and cassis. Very decent effort that has aged well. Drink now.

Rustique and coarse. Typical for the chateau and commune. Has been standing the time well, though.
