2019 vintage. Classy cedary cassis nose with a distinctive Pauillac-like lead pencil minerality. Layers of juicy black fruit, dark chocolate, haute couture tannins and energetic acidity. Very long too. Excellent. In my humble opinion this is the finest estate in Moulis , definitely of Cru Classé quality.

Too expensive for what it offers. Tastes like a good fruity $25 Bordeaux. While it was perfectly fresh after all these years in bottle, this Bordeaux did not and could not benefit from aging. A light and fruity Bordeaux that would be good with comfort food (pizza) but not with meat.

superb nose of cedarwood and some menthol. Palate is still too hard and tannic , no balance, maybe more time??

Started really well with black currant, dark cherries and spices, but ends dry with lots of new oak. Decent bottle but not our style.

This young Bordeaux should be left to mature another five years and see if it rounds out some. It is excellent but should be better 5-10 years, maybe more.

Another great young Bordeaux from 2010. This wine is fun now but will develop well in the years to come.

Soft, yet bold and fruity. Lingering aftertaste.
