Tremendous wine. Such an underdog at Cruchandeau. Glorious nose of florals, bright cherry fruit, some funk, now black cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Just terrific. Palate is opulent and incisive at the same time. Juicy with terrific acidity and engaging freshness that really extends the finish. Really well made and belies the level. Thrilling fruit as usual here. — 2 days ago

Deep color, no bricking at 25 years. First glass seemed best. But a nice drink with food throughout the meal. — a month ago

Medium weight and finish. The 2017 is drinking smooth and easy now. It is a nice bottle for sure but this isn’t quite my jam — 2 months ago

Holy living mother of god. Amazing.

Nose: gorgeous yellow fruits explode form the glass on open. More mineral with air.

Palate: generous fruit. Rich. Good density. Long juicy finish.

Birth year tastings, evening 4.
Polished leather, nuts, ecoline, grilled red pepper, tomato leaf, gingerbread, pepper, salty savoriness, tannins still present, still youthful, lots of future. Muscular! Beautiful. — a month ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, smoke and flinty notes, aged 40% new French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with cacao, cedar, espresso and spicy notes. Lively acidity, firm dusty tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, tobacco and spicy oak. Needs a little more time in bottle. — 2 months ago

This was singing when we had it at an over rated and under delivering Cyril Lignac bistrot in Paris. Great stuff and the best thing we had there. — 5 months ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, cedarwood, top soil and flowers. Very marked by the cabernet in the mouth, its medium bodied, fresh, balanced and with excellent fruit and mature tannins. Excellent and ready to drink but no rush. — a month ago

We have tasted three vintages., the 2019, 2010 and the 2015.
The 2019 was closed with no expressive attributes. The 2010, although was from a more matured vintage was surprisingly powerful however the tannins overwhelmed all other nuances ( probably needs some hours of decanting).
The 2015was at its peak. A complex and developing wine. With each tasting there are new aromas, fruit, barrel, maturation and the palate is strong, balanced with a lengthy finish — 2 months ago
