I don’t quite follow the Garagiste story of this vintage, but glad to have it for $20. Feels like it’s on the down slope of life, but still lovely at 12y. + short ribs = yum. — 6 years ago

Solid red. Nice stone fruit characteristics. Had the 2011 several months later and it tasted like it was past its prime! — 7 years ago

Typical scent of vanilla, baking spice, dill, fruit, and red fruit. Lots of energy on the palate, a little smokey character, earthiness, and spice. Mineral finish. Rambunctious, but good. I like it! — 7 years ago

Vintage 2015 | I forgot that I drank this wine 4 years ago, but 🫶 to delectable. Same velvety taste. Joyful fruit expressions. 60 Merlot 30 Cabernet Franc 10 Cabernet Sauvignon 12 m in barrels. A wine that clearly punches above its classification. Wonderful. Paired with salad and American pizza. — 8 months ago

Held amazingly for its age. Still has a lot of res fruit character. Was great for a short sip fell apart fast. Well past it’s past prime. Delicate and oxidized. Just what the pharmacist ordered. — 4 years ago

Big, dark fruit come through along with a generous but not overbearing amount of oak. A solid combination of acidity and grippy tannins round it out. The finish is long and enjoyable. It’s well put-together and would be fun to revisit a few years down the road. — 7 years ago

9.0

Medium deep ruby , pink rim , quite intense , with coloured tears noticeable . Quite closed but deep dark fruited , serious but compact nose , with touch of dark chocolate , grafite , blackberry , dark plum, cherry . On the palate more dark fruits , blackberry , dark plum , cherry , quite rich with dark chocolate, grafite nuances . Balanced acidity with quite gritty tannins . Slightly mineral and saline tinged on the medium length finish , with just a slight warmth from the alcohol noticeable . Certainly ambitious for a Castillion Cotes de Bordeaux , though unsurprisingly makes no mention of this on the front label ! This shows quite young , will improve over another 5 - 7 years and last a further 5-10. — 9 months ago

Amazing. It's fruity, but I've felt only a sweet, ripe plum. But the best is the rest: spicy aromas with leather and smoke like from smokehouse. I simply love it! — 6 years ago

Follows the signature playbook of rich extraction and pungent oak notes from this vigneron. Hands off for at least five years. — 6 years ago

Drank 2/19/18. Paired with roasted chicken.

The nose of sweet stewed plums and red berries is quite expressive. Still present, but mild, well integrated tannins lend structure to cassis and earth flavors. Medium finish. This could go a few more years, but is in a sweet spot now. I dont think it will improve further, so drink now. Fully mature.

4/22/8/4/3 + 50 = 91 pts.

Thanks @JT for a great bottle. — 7 years ago
