2016 seems poorer than other vintages. Lacking body, mid-palate is somewhat hollow and the acidity is unbalanced there isn’t enough fruit or body to support the acidity of the wine #médoc

Actually, one of the best young Bordeaux I ever tried. Not mine type of the wine, but I should say really excellent to the producer. A lot of black cherry, cassis, toasted aromas, thick and well balanced. Pronounced aromas and heavy tannins. Will be much better in five years, with a strong potential to development. Buy a case, drink a bottle and the rest is worth to keep.

2nd Growth from this producer. At peak drinking: the eight years burnishes all the old school Bordeaux parts, but for me it’s that cassis fruit core which makes it sing. Oh, & for 20$!

Excellent #qpr #quality well balanced. Good intensity of aromas, good body and flavor and medium plus finish. Sensations of ash and sage on the palate. Highly drinkable. #medoc
