Rhonda's third favorite Chateau nerf de Pape (which she found in the smaller store in the village) — 2 years ago
Nose of nectarine, pear. Taste of grapefruit, apple. Medium body and acidity. Leaves a grapefruit dry aftertaste. — 5 months ago
Picked this up in CdP and what a treat - in the pocket now and after 1.5 hrs in decanter really opened up with cherry, mulberry, cranberry, clove & cardamom, white pepper, hoisin, vein of mineral. Suave smooth luxurious on mid-palate, w/regal bearing. Persistent finish - I’d drink these now & within say 3-5 yrs — 2 years ago

2/11/2025 : COLMAR FAMILY — 9 months ago
One of the better older Bordeaux I’ve had in quite some time. Absolutely at peak with so many layers. It outshined an ‘03 Grand Puy Lacoste (which showed thin), ‘03 Montelena (sadly corked), and an ‘03 BV Georges de LaTour (rich/sweet).
Absolutely on fire from pop, this 20yr old left bank Bordeaux showed none of the overripe/too hot characteristics of the vintage. Deep purple/black in the glass with no bricking. Full-bodied. Mocha, truffle, roasted blackberries and raspberries, graphite on the nose. Ripe (but not overly so) dark berries, plum, cassis with vanilla pipe tobacco and even some iron. Still a good bit of tannin on the finish. This shows as a “modern” style due to the warmth, but balanced. Wish I had more. Pop the corks and enjoy! — 3 years ago
"Odedi"
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee and chocolates.
Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 5 year old, second wine from this Fifth Growth Bordeaux winery is drinking very nicely now.
Well balanced with nice complexity. Spicy, rich and fruit forward.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 15 months.
