Had with steak in Lille, France. Smooth with fruit, delicious pairing and also good alone — 4 years ago
Still quite tight and youthful, it shows nice cassis fruit, a bit of sweet vanilla, crushed dark stones, and dried twiggy underbrush on the nose. Still quite a bit of youthful tannin on the palate, with tightly-wound flavors of blackcurrant, iron, and graphite. Very good acidity too. Very good now with my shepherd’s pie but will be much better in 5. — 4 years ago

2022 vintage. A relatively new estate ( first vintage 1972, and bought in 1993 by Belgian MD Gaëtan Lagneaux, who sadly passed away at the age of 50 in 2012). His son Adrien has directed the estate ever since, and I believe his father would have been proud of him tasting this 2022. I don't know the exact blend for this vintage, but the vineyard is planted with 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. A little less colour compared to Coutelin-Merville tasted alongside , but more refined in both nose and taste. Abv. 13,5 %.

Bottle recommended by waiter. Paired nicely with Beef Borginion. Hint of dry and spice. Looking to buy again. — 4 years ago
Wow, flavor bomb 💥 intense and complex. Tobacco, mocha, cedar, graphite, and dirt around a nice core of sweet and charred dark fruit, cassis, plum, and blackberry. Soft, round, and long. Yum!
Drank really well after a splash decant, faded a tad after a few hours. — 4 years ago

Leathery and earthy, dark fruits and quite tannic. After an hour and a half it's showing very nicely. Last bottle.
