Nice nose with cedar, cigar and hyacinth, unfortunately the taste is not living up to this: watered down green pepper and some unpleasant alcohol, total lack of fruit, a really bad year from this normally reliable producer

This vintage is really green and tart with unripe fruit. Very weak fruit and some unintegrated oak makes this wine hard to drink even with food. Green paprika, violets and red currants on the palate. Bought this one on a sale but that doesn't make it better. This Château benefits from stronger vintages.

Very dry and tannic, not much fruit characteristic. Not a style of wine we enjoy.

very smooth already at this moment, black berrys, midweight body but short aftertaste, nearly trivial claret
