    This is an enormous wine, maybe too much. With its layers of rich black fruits and dark tannins, it is a powerful, juicy, jammy and super-ripe wine. It all seems excessive and out of balance. It's fun for a moment, but not for drinking with food.

    This Château tends to release rich wines. The tannins and fruits are there, but they have been exaggerated with a hint of bitterness. In a year or two it will soften, but the harshness will remain.

    Now definitely mature, even drying up, this wine needs to be drunk now. It has developed a dry, tannic character, woody and stalky, although its balance is still there and the aftertaste has some juiciness.
