It was fine. I continue to be underwhelmed in Bordeaux. — a month ago
Good freshness. Not a bruiser. Nimble with food. Lovely wine for the price. — 2 months ago
NOSE: mild, cooked fruit, a little carob. Inoffensive but not especially inviting.
TASTE: cooking spices, chicory, ash, a little bitter —unsweetened minerally dark chocolate - red fruit barely present and dried. Very balanced and elegant. This is going to kill with the herb roasted chicken I’m about to eat. 91. — 3 months ago

Some raspberries and cherries, a little of tannins. Was great with braised elk and king trumpet mushrooms. — a month ago
12 years old but still holding up. — a month ago
It has something really unique as always. But it’s so austere this year. A wine that really will need time to be enjoyed at its fullest.

Quintessential old Bordeaux — a month ago
Medium ruby , slighter narrower ruby / pink rim , a little less bright . Slightly deeper , darker fruits , blueberry, violets , with scorched earth , mineral and grafite . On the palate , more intensity and power perhaps , more noticeable though still velvety tannin , dark fruits , mineral , saline , fresh cigar. Lovely fresh acidity , balanced alcohol . Long saline , mineral tinged, slightly toasty finish . Needs time obviously , but will be one of the great wines from a great vintage in 20 years, just wait — 2 months ago
Delicious Haut-Medoc Bordeaux, with dark fruit notes and silky tannin, served at family dinner in Toronto — 2 months ago
Full bodied, dense, deep ruby Bordeaux. On the nose: dark mulberry fruit,cedar, & a touch of eucalyptus/camphor. On the palate: dark fruit, cedar and light tannins. After 40 minutes decanted the tannins recede and the soft fruit is delicious. This wine is fully mature and a terrific offering from Medoc. If you have it or can get it, drink now and enjoy! — 3 months ago

Perhaps a little 1D but plenty of fruit concentration and acid, check in in another 5. — 2 days ago
