Wow I don’t drink a lot of Bordeaux but this was for a very special birthday and a big bottle seems in order ... it lived up to all expectations ... filled with many savory aromas in flavors like mushrooms, beef jerky, soy sauce but then also the trademark graphite/pencil lead quality. At 19 still seemed to have some years left to go before peaking!

Great wine! Had this wine about 2 years ago. It changed dramatically in the glass over the course of 45-60 minutes. Can't wait to open the other bottles in the future... Near future. :) — 11 years ago

A great Cru Artisan producer, this is ready to go at age 9. Well balanced, primary and tertiary flavors emerging, excellent freshness and length. Currants, cassis, a touch of capsicum. Old school Bordeaux! — 2 years ago
