Solid producer whose wines drink quite well young, but I’m afraid this is a bad bottle. Distracting VA on first pour, but this initial glass had decent red fruit intensity and energy. A few hours in it devolved into a caramel nuttiness. Bad cork?

Smell of cedar, plum, tobacco and red fruit, dark ruby/purple in color, decanted 1/2 bottle the first day for about one hour, a little too much heat with not much fragrance, after three days, it really opened up and the heat is gone. Smooth tannin with medium to long finish. Bang for the buck from the excellent 2005 vintage.

A little flat at first but opened up with some time. Nice dark color with a decent nose of plum and ash. A tad spicy / pepper. A gift from my wife for my bday back in the beginning of the year.... so I love it! :)

Deep, spicy. Great with pizza; not quite the right fit for anything delicate.

Generous crushed black fruit, cedar, charcoal, good energy, fine tannins. Never bracing nor plummy. Fermented in cement tanks, aged 18 months in foudres.

Brambly berries and twigs, cocoa dust and eucalyptus. A little stingy with fruit or a little generous with structure depending on your point of view.

定番安旨ボルドー、評価の高い2015ビンテージ。2012年ものより少々高いがうきうき税別1900円。
やはりまろやかでアフターも長い印象。

Notes of cedar, red fruit and plum. Faint hint of leather and a whiff of chewing tobacco. Good to pair with Turkey and rolls.
