Mature brooding excellence. Enjoyed by the riverbank last May on the River Test. — 10 days ago

Garnet rim with a deep Ruby center. Classically Left Bank Bordeaux with dark fruit, green peppers, tobacco, gravel and pine on the nose, also displaying molasses, caramel, leather, gunpowder and riverbank. A touch of VA, seemed to be a bit more than an added complexity. Slightly underwhelming for a 1st Growth. — 7 years ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 10.8.25 (9.2). Light-medium bod this visit vs medium bod previous go round. Fantastic nose still redolent of dark fruit-infused graphite, blood, night time riverbank mud and dark chocolate-covered cherry. Finish currently that artificial, grapey cough syrup mixed with espresso...a veritable ayahuasca potion flavor (don't ask me how I know) and fairly bitter. Wine all about the approach and handshake vs the actual transaction but still very interesting and worth the super affordable price. Not the biggest BDX so you could easily bounce into Rhône or Burgundy or Bandol to keep the party going. 1.6.26. — 2 months ago

A lovely nose of lilacs growing on a riverbank, just about to bloom.

Tangy cherry, cranberry, white pepper, dark plum river stone. Light tannins wrap up the profile of this wine, as do the feathery tannins. — 7 years ago

Slightly Sweeter than many rose wines but not sickly. Fruity and perfect for a summer lunch — 2 years ago

Amazingly complex wine. Medium Ruby ranging to a Garnet rim. Exploding out of the glass; cherries, strawberries, cacao, coffee, chocolate, hazelnut, gravel, brisket, pork belly with crackling, an intense sanguine nature, peonies, cardomun, riverbank, maple bacon, clove, numbing menthol, pepper. Truly amazing. Well structured! — 7 years ago

Nose is super earthy, sweet-topsoil, pasture, riverbank clay. Soft red raspberry and alpine strawberry on the palate with a thoughtful smooth creek-bed pebble quality. Very pleasant and very versatile! — 7 years ago
