It was good but generally quite a muted effort. Is the chateau perhaps situated between the graves ridges of St Estephe? Or is it simply closed at the moment? In any case, it was a good food wine - plenty of tannin and acidity to go with the veal-stuffed octopus but rather lacking in fruit, on nose as well as palate.
