Great dirty cherry smell, smooth easy mod tannins, acid of course there...nothing crazy, but pleasure to drink.

Meh. Dark cherry, herbal notes. Totally fine. Nothing special texturally or on the palate for an '05 1er cru

Simple, uncomplicated, rich and alcohol- and acid-dominated CdB from an average vintage (2008).

2006 vintage. Showing some age, but still good and good with food. Lots of fruit.

Pan seared scallops over pesto angel hair pasta. Chive infused butter and bread.

Slight off, agey taste mixed with the fruits in the first 30 minutes before pairing with the meal.

Orange
Cloves
Cinnamon
Reminds me of my dads hot whiskeys
A bit of methoxypyrazine
Strawberries
Soft
Brown sugar slightly in taste
Quite savory

Slight sherry like oxidized fruit flavor
Lemonade later on
