I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 5 years ago
Dark fruited built on an acidic framework with firm but fine tannins. Interesting reductive ( in a good way) for a house that is reputed to use little sulfur. But this 1er has chops for sure (my first experience with Bel-Air), which immediately confirms that its neighbors are all quite “grand”! — 5 years ago
Entry was full butterscotch. Then that waved off and it became even more elegant with more citrus. — 3 years ago
Good herb aroma and concentration. Later on Strawberry. 3 hours, Splendid, mix fruity flavor including plum, tropical fruits. I felt the same before when I tasted grand cru in Bourgogne. 2016 @2730, Kping - , 211020-211126 — 3 years ago
Lovely! Complex and bright with the terroir coming through more with every taste. I loved this wine and found it to be an incredible value for the price point! — 5 years ago
Wine red! Makes me excited! With transparency. Lots of strawberry and other berry aroma. Concentrated. Tannic. 2017 @1380, Kping - XH, 200515-200523
A bit Transparent. Tropical fruits like. 2019 @1600, Kping - 22F, 200613 — 4 years ago
Still a very robust wine. Not in the least past its prime. There’s a lot of fruit left, but there’s also a lot of oak., even after 26 years. This has dried out the wine a little bit. Don’t make too much out of my criticism. The wine is very enjoyable, so the bottle was finished without any complaints from my friends at the table.

Doesn’t drink like a Chablis, rather closer to a chassagne montrachet. — 2 years ago
