A shockingly vigorous palate for a wine if this age. Caramel, sherry, toasted nuts, orange peel, just so much going on and with the intensity of a wine a century younger. All this is driven along by an intense and thrilling acidity. What a treat. — a year ago

Fruit forward aromas of ripe blackberries, same on the palate with a medium oaky body and baking spice and peppery tannins. Very balanced and wanting red meat! — 3 years ago
Very smooth but bright red. Lovely fruity notes and very easy to drink. — 4 years ago

This is the single vineyard “Le Mesnil” edition of the vintage Caudalies. De Sousa is so underrated. Nose is lush AF. Tropical fruit. Palate is angular, needs time to come together. Fantastic balance & complexity. Serious shit. — 21 days ago
