Classic. Leather, forest floor, amazing minerality, high acid. So lush. Peaking.

Tight, tannic, a fair bit of Brett. Probably needs another 8-10 years to unravel. Like most BDX, will reward the patient..,,

Smooth, balanced and a perfect match with a classic French meal in the Medoc

Very pronounced nose with juicy cherries bursting through, pepperish and meaty as well. On the palate the fruits are more subdued dominated by tertiary flavors - dried herbs, forest leaves, a bit of smoke. Reminds me of a late Autumn afternoon in the woods.

The dark horse in a lineup of amazing bordeauxs. Wonderful integration of fruit and tannin, sweet loam, dark berries, a perfectly aged expression of its style. An estate we've visited and spoken with the owner at length - earnest, impressive winemaking. Bravo
