9.5

Yumm. Decanted and it opened up very nicely. Excellent with grilled steak. Tight tannins opened up to ripe red fruits and anise flavors on the very long finish. Buying more to taste over the coming years. — 10 years ago

8.6

Disagree with the sommelier who says this has a short finish. Nonetheless, it's not at its peak yet. Good tannins with some aging potential left. Pretty good balance. — 10 years ago

Had the 1967 vintage. First bottle was soft, well balanced and clearly ready to drink. There was still some fruit left. First time tasting a classed Bordeaux of this age. Second bottle was musty and past peak. — 10 years ago
