Plummy and almost a little smoky. Love the texture. It became a much softer wine after aerating, and on the second day had lost most of its bite. — 4 years ago

This 2016 was gifted to me at a meal I was hosting. Beautifully presented bottle and a Very pleasant, well balanced wine with great aromas. This paired really well with roasted beef. — 6 years ago
In great vintages, second wines from pedigree Chateauxs are always a safe bet, and this is no exception. Pretty open on the nose, indicating its readiness, while hidden tannins and iron/blood-like flavours on the palate suggests waiting is clever, as it’s still one dimensional and needs time to fully express itself. — 7 years ago

Smokey nice with Ribeye — 9 years ago
About me: I prefer light or medium bodied, semi-sweet, soft/smooth, fruity nose, weak or medium flavor, clean finish. Don't care for very sweet, acidic, dry, crisp, oaky, bitter, peppery, tannic, strong, heavy. Usually don't eat when I drink wine. Rating only reflects my preference.
Review: Opens creamy, quite sweet with pronounced cherry flavor. Followed by some oak (though it's prepared in steel drums) and very mild bitterness. Finish slightly mineral with mild cherry. Reminds me of port. Bought a case. — 9 years ago

Great CDP. Paired rightfully with beef bourguignon. Dark blackberry, rich earth. — 5 years ago
Fresh grape, hay, anise, white flowers and a touch of peach, this is a very flowery nose, full of promise and intriguing. The palate is very dense: wide, long with a grip, a soft touch, a bit of a round thing in mid palate. Peach and and anise all along the acid backbone. A very long finish with a bit of peach and some freshness. In the end there is an everlasting layer of anise and hay. This is very good! — 5 years ago
