We drank this with a DELICIOUS pork chop. Unfortunately it was not the right pairing. We only started enjoying it after the taste of our dinner was gone. And then it really started delivering. Lots of levels. Savory and earthy. — 7 years ago
Cherry and chocolate fragrance. Something earthy/roasted about the flavor. — 8 years ago
Black fruits, good structure, surprisingly well balanced. Have had several bottles from this case, this was the best one yet. Could age several more years. — 9 years ago

Hints of New Zealand on the nose with grapefruit and grass. A really rich body for a Sauv Blanc! Ripe grapefruit on the palate, almost candied or with a little sugar sprinkled on. Still the tart acidity you'd expect. — a year ago

Belle découverte que ce bordeaux supérieur. Des petites notes boisés et un peu de cassis font de ce vin un peu tannique un bel accompagnement pour du fromage. En tous cas j'adore — 10 years ago
