This is an excellent example of aged bordeaux. Bright crystal clarity on pouring. Still a profound ruby to dark cherry garnet core color. Slightly sweet fruit in the mouth. Depth of flavor and powerful concentration that has now evolved into a refined, balanced, beautiful red wine. Must have been excellently cellared. The bottom sixth of the cork stayed in the neck upon opening, then popped! Into the bottle!

When corona forces you to work at home (March 28, 2020) than you go cleaning, so I found this tasting note. A light colour, ripe, but flat bouquet, also missing complexity in the taste, alcohol noticeable in the finish.

Tasted at a NCWS "Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel" tasting. Mature nose. Some sweetness, some fruit (now rather strawberry-like). It is now a little faded and would probably have scored more highly a few years ago.

This wine was tasted as part of a bigger Bordeaux tasting, so the note might be a little bit short:
ruby red, smells nicely of dried oranges, smooth in the mouth, a rather short finish, nice though

Excellent vin. Profond, pourpre et sang, parfumé, corsé, cèdre, tabac, truffe, mûre, bonnes longueur et présence, finale alcoolique, pleine maturité avec tannins intégrés.
