Classic aged #stestephe - probably fair to say this second wine was well into a gentle decline at this age. Dried cherry, fruit, marzipan notes, touch of bricking on the rim. Palate suggested acidity was fading, faint impression of tannins left; an interesting if not thrilling aged #bordeaux. — 2 years ago

2016 vintage. At the time under the reign of the Audoy family, and recently sold, together with their other estate Cos Labory, to neighbour Cos d'Estournel. A good, old-fashioned Saint-Estèphe with rather rustic tannins that offers decent value for the appellation at 15,50 euro, even if I believe that they could have done a better job with this terroir in a great vintage. — 2 months ago
Nothing but secondary and tertiary notes on the nose. Hoisin sauce, shoe leather, luxardo cherry reduction. On the palate, light and fresh. Lots going on. Still some tannins on the back end. A treat. — 4 years ago
Very good Fronsac. Fully developed silky tannins, secondary aromas of blue flowers and berries. On the palate , the wine slides down smoothly and persistent. — 6 years ago
I really liked this. Elegant finish, acidity was great,. Graphite/ rocky, raspberry notes. I always like a good Margaux. — 8 months ago
Blend of 60% Cab Sauvignon, 35% Merlot & 5% Cab Franc, 33% new oak aged, owned by the same family as Cos Labory. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits, spice and cedar. On the palate juicy blackberry and plum with notes of cacao and cedar. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, cedar and earthy notes. Good value. — 5 years ago
Very enjoyable wine. I had this post dinner; I imagine it would be much more enjoyable with a red meat protein (cooked medium rare) or maybe a red pasta. Nice balanced fruit in nose and taste; after taste consistent with a Bordeaux — 7 years ago
