Very good, lots of beautiful tertiary aromas, mainly truffle like. Very little fruit left. Smooth, silky. Can drink right after opening the bottle, not much development within two hours in the decanter - also no fading of the aromas.

Last bottle from a lot of 6. Light purple in the glass with a brownish edge. This one had a very light touch of cork in the nose, which however did not play any further role. Nicely in balance, fresh with smooth tannins. Smooth drinking. Time to drink up.

This was the best bottle of the lot of 6 so far (1 bottle left). Really smooth, but fresh and a good mix of fruit and tertiary aromes. Very nice, but needs to be drunk.

Light, elegant red. rather developped/plummy, but this is nice to drink. 2002 was a tricky vintage in Bordeaux, causing variable quality for this Chateau. This bottle was on the good side, but gone on day 2.

Drinkable, but way too much developped and plummy. Two thirds of the bottle ended up in the sink.
