Vintage 2010 | Solid petit Bordeaux with good balance, warm and spicy smell. This year is a slow developer, in 375 ml tannins are phasing out, but in magnum still very obvious. Paired with chicken, haricot verts.

Vintage 2015 ~ Excellent right bank Bordeaux with all the good characteristics: eucalyptus and laurel. Red summerfruit. Nice balance. Lovely effort.
