Vintage 2009 | This is a Pomerol with a certain strictness. We tasted it blind next to a left bank wine but the tasters did not recognize this as a right bank wine. It seems to be made for the long haul, with clear tannines even after 15 years. Good integrated wood with a light vanilla impression. — 14 days ago
Lecker. Gute Auswahl von Toni — 3 days ago
Hot tub-! Meaning, Macon in the hot tub. Which also means that any wine tasted in hot tub conditions deserves better, & at least some recognition the hot tub distorts. Still, a lithe, Meyer lemon & mineral palate. Helps actually to be in, yes, the hot tub to loosen up the dimensionality. Would go back to this. — 2 months ago

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium plus intensity.
Pretty nose with red and black fruits, wood, earth, tobacco, black coffee and spices.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, peppercorn, forest floor, earth, black tea, vegetables and herbs.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 16 year old from Margaux, is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice balance and elegance. Soft and very dry.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets much earthier as it opens up, with lots of earth and forest floor notes. Really enjoyed the nose.
The 2008 vintage was not a good one, and although it's still very tasty, I don't see it getting any better from this point.
I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Bordeaux, and I found it to be all over the place. The 2016 was my favorite so far.
