One of my favorite producers in all of Bordeaux, particularly when value enters the discussion. Dollar for delivered pleasure, this has few peers and yet, has the proven history to age gracefully for 30+ years. Dark fruits, cassis, tobacco, espresso, baking spices, earth. Finish is long and delicious. Tannins are still quite firm at this stage. Recommend an extended decant if possible.

Score withheld as this is hard as a rock. When it yields up a bit it’s going to kill it, I’m going in for 6 at 29€. Classic old school bdx here, no fluff. Showing earth, iron/blood and barrel char now, a half day in the decanter didn’t budge it. Bury it and check in in 5...
