"Die Nase ist ein Gedicht, wie schon En Primeur ist hier Hühnerhaut angesagt, Frucht und Würze, Floralität, etwas Paprika, man möchte darin baden. Im Gaumen konzentriert, mit ungemein knackiger Frucht, feinsten Tanninen, alles ist da, nichts dominiert, der Wein tänzelt über die Zunge, verleiht sich selber Flügel, hochelegant und von ausgezeichneter Länge. mit dunkler Frucht und feiner Würze. Grandios ist das. 2025-2050 (Verkostet am 21. Juni 2021 im Rahmen der UGCB Probe in Genf)"

"This famous estate at the southern end of Pauillac has produced a powerful wine. Packed blackberry fruits, laced with acidity, are just starting out on a long journey along with the tannins. The wine's elegance is beautifully preserved within the structure. With considerable potential, the wine should not be drunk before 2027. Roger Voss"

"Sehr dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende schwarze Fruchtnuancen von Beeren und Kirschen, feine Edelholzanklänge, zart nach kandierten Orangenzesten, mineralische Aspekte, etwas Lakritze. Komplex, extraktsüß, reife Herzkirschen, reife, tragende Tannine, feine Süße auch im Abgang, ein eleganter Speisenwein, ausgestattet mit großer Länge und Harmonie, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial."

"Bright dark inky purplish colour. Plenty of depth and layers on the nose with violet, crème de cassis, black cherry, fine tobacco, mocha and dark chocolate. The palate is very dense and concentrated, yet finely tuned with no hard edges, powdery tannin like cocoa powder adding plenty of weight and length. Layers of digest dark fruit with some aromatic herbs like sage and mint, finely tuned oak, a whiff of coffee bean and a tremendously long finish. Incredibly well-built with a huge potential, should open up in the coming 4-5 years and keep forever."

"The nose is beautifully elegant, bright, beautifully intense, harmonious and offers complexity as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain and a multi-layer side which imposes to come back regularly on the nose to see its evolution. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry, pulpy cassis and small notes of pulpy strawberry associated with touches of vanilla, incense, pepper, crushed raspberry as well as fine hints of caramelization, toasted hazelnut, discreet hints of vanilla bourbon, an imperceptible hint of verbena and iodine gravels. The palate is elegant, delicate, gourmand, very discreetly tight and offers precision, a beautiful definition, a certain richness, fullness, suavity as well as a beautiful balanced, a certain density, a fine tension, energy and deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fleshy wild cassis, small black berries and small notes of wild raspberry associated with touches of tonka bean/mocha, incense, black tea, black plum, a racy minerality as well as fine hints of caramelized oak, saffron, bergamot, discreet hints of bourbon vanilla pod, toasted hazelnut and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background). A racy, beautifully powerful, rich but bull of delicacy and precision wine. Good length. A very beautiful persistence on notes of toasted almond, hazelnut and mocha."
