Spiced and dark fruits on the nose, soft tannins, a bit volatile upon opening but after a couple hours in the bottle was perfect. Significantly faded in flavor by the end of the bottle; do not decant or risk overshooting this wine.

Un cru bourgeois encore bien jeune. Présentement il se présente avec des notes de levure et de fermentation au nez et beaucoup de bois, ce qui lui donne un côté vanillé un peu trop appuyé. La bouche est assez puissante sur une belle trame fruité. Encore là les tanins sont un peu rudes dans le moment. Beau potentiel de vieillissement. Lui donner au moins un 5 ans de cave et il gagnera sûrement 2 ou 3 points.

At Divo wine club tasting. Medium purple. Expressive nose of cloves, wood, red berries, very Margaux. Unfortunately the palate cannot quite follow this act as the tannins are a bit too harsh, especially for 2009.

Ahhhh encore typique Bordeaux, sans grand intérêt mais sans défaut. Trop cher, RQP -1 au moins.
