2016 vintage. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (49%, Merlot (49%) and Petit Verdot(2%). As it's holding back a lot initially, take your time or decant. Classic nose with cassis and cedarwood. Medium-bodied, high acidity, clean fruit, and good length with a mineral touch. Tannins are a little rough, better with food. Needs time. Certainly a good wine, but I believe there is much more potential here given the quality of the vineyards. With the new owner since 2019 exciting times are to be expected for this estate. Abv. 13%.

Cellars date back to 1843), although Chateau has kept the charm of a Medoc wine estate, it has modernized efficient thermo-regulation systems. Mostly Cab Sauvignon and Merlot with a splash of Cab Franc & Petit Verdot. Ruby with aromas of fruit and spice notes. On the palate blackberry, espresso and herb notes. Tight tannins, medium+ length, good balance ending with a toasty smoky character.

Vintage 2009 - smell with red fruit, cedar, chocolate. I like the classic nose, good balance, needs a bit more time because the wine still is a bit stubborn. Good effort!

May 28th, 2016A little less integrated than the previous 2000 Bordeaux (Fourcas Hosten) but more interesting, and more lively. I'm planning to open the last bottle in 2018.
