Dark rubi robe, nose of cedar, dark cherries and asian spices. Medium bodied, oh so elegant tannins, notes of tobacco, berries and anise. Very long, very elegant. This is probably as good as it gets in terms of elegance and complexity in Rive Gauche Bordeaux other than first growths, and not by much. Enthusiastically recommended. — 3 days ago
1966 that we had with foie gras. It was excellent! — 13 days ago
Classic La Mission nose showing mostly black fruits, with notes of smoke, cedar, licorice, leather, mocha, underbrush & cigar ash. Just entering its prime with many years ahead — 5 days ago
So underrated and punching way above its weight class. Bit more delicate and pure than your high end Boudreaux. Perfect for seaside dinners. Great vintage too. — 11 days ago
Very enjoyable. Notes of mango and passion fruit. Not too sweet. — 11 days ago
These are recalled impressions, not contemporaneous notes, from two nights ago, when the family council of elders met for a steak/wine pairing event at my brother Angelo’s house.
Balanced and subtle, this developed nicely with air and was quite elegant. — 5 days ago

Apricot, white peach and orange blossom. Incredibly light on its feet considering the age. — 6 days ago
