This seemed to be in a perfect spot showing red & black fruit, graphite, cedar, sweet savory spice, leather & tobacco — a day ago

The 2016 has rounder fatter fruit and less angular architecture than the 2010, and more intense structure than the 2015. The aroma is a classic old school Pauillac, black fruit, tobacco, cigar box and graphite, on top of leathery barnyard bass notes that one often finds in old Lynch Bages or Pontet Canet. More masculine than feminine with lack of vanilla and minty notes. No overripeness, over-oakiness, over-manipulation this year. Type IV Bordeaux in which the aromatic complexity and the structural intensity is well-matched. Less polish this year but the balance between the presence and the reserve is so well-judged. — 3 years ago

2000 for daughters birthday decanted, wonderful immediately and grew better over time sitting in the decanter. Only one bottle left in cellar after this one. — 7 days ago

Ist time trying this from the owners of Pontet Canet. Well made with everything in place showing good balance. Everyone seemed to enjoy it — a month ago

Vintage 2010 | Solid petit Bordeaux with good balance, warm and spicy smell. This year is a slow developer, in 375 ml tannins are phasing out, but in magnum still very obvious. Paired with chicken, haricot verts. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2010 | tuilé color, forrest smell, mushrooms, a vague hint of truffle, still some tannins but also a velvety taste. Love this! Dutch bottling by Jean Berger Ruremonde | Paired with a steak and kohlrabi and garlic from the oven — 3 years ago

Vintage 2025 | My goodness this performs so much higher than the modest appellation; sophisticated smell with cedar and spices, very good structure and great taste. Paired with spaghetti carbonara. — 2 months ago

1hr+ decant. Lovely dark red/purple color. Still has years left in it. Blue fruit with cedar and car exhaust (in a good way!). Well integrated as only Paul can do. So definitive I could guess this blind every time. Love it! Medium plus depth and finish. Would love to try this side by side with Pontet Canet. This rocks!! — a year ago
