Old vintaged nuance. Very smooth. Fruits Liquor flavor. Enough tanning. 1999 @1000, domaine, 201002 — 4 years ago
The Bordeaux I've had over the last six months has, I must admit, left me sceptical as to why Bordeaux is so brilliant. With the exceptions of Chateau La Cardonne 2003 and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2001, much of the Bordeaux I've had has left me disappointed. This bottle however reaffirmed to me the beauty of the region. Just an astonishingly good wine - 2005 of course being an excellent vintage - whose only let-down lay in my not opening the bottle a few years later; the wine would definitely benefit from a good five to ten years' more age, to soften the tannins and allow a longer finish. I am however being fussy. It was fantastic. — 11 years ago

Medoc blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Dark garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, baking spices and cedar. The palate is also full of dark berry fruit along with notes of minerals and vanilla. Nicely integrated oak on the long lasting finish. Medium-plus body and very fine tannins. Fresh tasting and rich. Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — 8 months ago
