Had this beauty at a recent tasting. The present-day chateau was constructed in the 17th Century, like many Bordeaux estates, in ruins after WW1. Acquired by the Cruse family in the 1950's, replanted and restored, and declared a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. Deep red with dark berry aromas and sweet spice. The palate shows blackberry rich tannins, still tight, lingering finish with earthy tones. Nice! Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

Tried Cruse and Sandlands ‘16 Carignans side by side. Both excellent, Cruse with redder brighter fruit, Sandlands with more bramble, tannin and structure. — 8 years ago

Alder Springs makes Thingz with Zings! Does anything come from this place that isn't a laser or lightning bolt? Must make hair stand on end when you walk through it. I can just picture @Hardy Wallace picking his grapes looking like he had his hand on a van de Graff generator... — 8 years ago

Halfsappig en opvallend licht voor een Merlot. Hij werd gedecanteerd en dat was te proeven! Een veelvoud aan lichtkruidige en fruitige smaken! Lekker, maar iets simpele afdronk. — 10 years ago
