On the nose, sweet dark cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries and ripe strawberries. Baking spices, black cherry cola, liqueur notes, rich, warm turned earth and fresh, dark floral bouquet. The palate is rich, ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries and poached strawberries. Black cherry cola, baking spices, black sweetened tea, black licorice, dark chocolate, hint of caramel, wet stones, mushroom, volcanic minerals, soft leather, touch of graphite, dark, fresh florals, violets, mouthwatering acidity and a long, rich, round, elegant finish that lasts over a minute. Sweet nectar in a really great spot. Great evening with Helene Garcia-Leveque. Thank you for sharing your wines and the preview of your 2016's.

Oaky, luscious, with a good set of legs, this is everything a Bordeaux should be.

Very nice classic aged right bank Bordeaux. No need to decant, this was great from the bottle with smooth tannins, excellent dark fruit, and good acid on the finish that keeps it refreshing.

Very rich, elegance with smooth rich fruit and softening tannins. Enjoyable now but long life ahead.
