When it was opened the nose was shy, 30 minutes later it opened up to a smooth and elegant wine with fruit and soft tannins. Solid and good drinking. Cork was in great shape!! 56 year old wine that has held up beautifully.🍷🍷 — 7 years ago

This was our second bottle. First was uninspiring and despite the 97pt RP rating, found it to be disappointing. The trick is to let it breathe for at least an hour to let the flavors develop. It is no Opus One but very satisfying with a juicy steak or just plain enjoyment! — 7 years ago
The estate dates back to the Crusades, and Scottish navigator, George Smith, the owner in the 18th century. He was followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, and then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard now own the estate. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, darrk berry aromas, herb and spice. On the palate complex juicy black fruit flavors, cinnamon and cacao notes. Soft tannins, rich and full, lingering, mineral, youthful ending, needs time. — 7 years ago

Boca: tanino M-, Acidez M, alcohol M. Muy balanceado y con mucha armonía. Muy bueno.

A 10 year old port. The flavor of a robust Cabernet but sweet, thicker, and without tannins. Not tawny in flavor; not ruby in color. It is instead a deep and beautiful red color. Alcohol 18.2% by volume. — 8 years ago

One of our barrel lots purchased at Premiere Napa Valley. I like the way this has developed showing a nice expression of Cab fruit, spice, structure & balance. — 5 years ago
