Tried this a few years ago and was unimpressed. I guess I was a little young. Elegant. Fruit, wood, acid — anonymous in that it tastes more like “wine” than those individual flavors, but tastes like … wine should. I can’t believe it, but Suckling was right. 91. — 3 months ago
Medium ruby pink rim, quite thin rim. More dense and darker on the nose than the Chapelle . Dark plum , blackberry , dark cherry , touch of spice again , quite dense , with a touch of spice on the medium length finish . Lacks the elegance of the Chapelle , a bit more tannic and bigger boned , less fresh perhaps , but a touch more mineral also . Needs more time , another 3-5 years and will show well for a further 5 -8. Again successful but the La Chapelle just comes out in front , though this will be longer lived . — 6 months ago

Very bright acid. Light, fresh — a month ago
Dark amber. Treacle, toffee, and tangelo on the inviting nose and full, rich palate. "Rich" meaning "sweet," of course, but well balanced with medium, citrusy acidity. Naturally, a lengthy finish. You got cheese? Nuts? Dried fruit? Here's your fourth for dessert. Drink now through whenever. — 2 months ago

From magnum. Medium deep ruby , thin ruby rim . Deep summer fruits , red plum , cassis , cocoa , blackberry , deep earthy , touch smoky on the nose . After a while sweet cherry , raspberry jam . On the palate this is quite elegant and red fruited , quite good acidity , red currant , cherry , raspberry , some blackberry . Balanced acidity quite juicy tannins , good length , surprisingly fresh and balanced . Good red fruited , earthy length . A better showing here than last year I felt, better balance and fresher fruit . Showing surprisingly well now , though still young , better in 5 years , and will continue well for a further 10 -15 or so . — a day ago
