Pretty, effusive and in a great spot now for early drinking - but this will go some way yet! The nose is very Médoc and almost Pauillac-like, with very pure aromatics and a prominent iron/graphite streak. The wine itself is medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant, slightly zesty if not hugely concentrated, but well balanced and features a refreshing finish.

Lovely - a charming value from the Haut Médoc. Rusty strawberry, raspberry, crushed stones, piercing acidity and gentle tannic focus. Easy and delicious. 5th Growth. #sommcon

Cherry and saddle on the nose, with hints of licorice and tobacco. Dry, with light tannins. Seems to have more on the nose than on the palate after 45 minutes of breathing.

Always consistent. Plenty of years left. Quality Bordeaux. Full body. Well balanced. Fantastic QPR. Pairs well with Shake Shack on a Friday night.

Somewhat disappointed. Is a full body wine but lacked depth. Bought at TAC for ¥6,000.
