Super fresh, clean, savoury aromatics from this charming estate which the Rothschilds actually sold just one year following this vintage in 1990. This wine continues my love affair with the 1989 vintage in Bordeaux. Gorgeous cedar wood is complemented by dried cherry, balsamic and mint. The palate adds a touch of chocolatey sweetness and has great balance. Good length for this level. I had a craving for venerable Bordeaux tonight to accompany roast lamb, and this has delivered. A lovely wine. — 6 days 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
