Very nice balance of black cherry, black currant fruit, minerals, gravelly nose, a little mint, and hinting at funky earth. Very nice. Will buy more asap.

2015 vintage. This big 101 ha estate is considered one of the oldest in Bordeaux with vines planted in the 14th century. It's owned by the Castel family since 1971. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Beautiful nose with cassis, blueberries and cedar wood. While the mouth doesn't quite live up to the nose, this is a classic Haut-Médoc with good purity, fresh acidity and well-integrated tannin that opens up nicely in the glass and that should age well. Could do with a bit more body but good value at 12,90 euro. Decanting recommended if you drink it now. Abv. 13%.

Nose of cassis and a little wood; darker scents; smooth tannins and a light scent of cigar box

Currents, plum, asphalt, dried herbs, menthol, cigar box, mushrooms, sweet tobacco and nice acid. Forgot how much I love Bordeaux. This ones for you Jeremy :)

Dirt minerals mint anise and a beautiful nose. Rich color and long finish. Had with cassoulet - a great match. 2000 vintage.

Subtle fruit, barrel spice and earthy notes, precise but austere. Medicinal on palate.
