So impressed with this vintage. Deep and concentrated nose and palate. Displays quince and white fleshed fruits, coupled with a dense, oily mouthfeel. Superb length with very little acidity to talk about. Finishes sweet and voluptuous. Overall, the integration is textbook. — 4 days ago

Roasted pineapple on the nose and mid palate. Pears are also evident in the mix.
Butterscotch notes combine with bold citrus notes. Relaxed acid makes this a huge knee-trembler. Wifey loves it, as do I!

Close friend gifted us this over 15 years ago. This has stood still and I’m loving it. Typical Bdx profile displaying saddle leather, wood and smoke from the barrel toast. Tannins are moderate and standing tall. Outstanding in my book. — a month ago

Lazy weekend with my family, and this product has never fallen short.
A beautiful, zippy/zesty, exotic rendition of SB, displaying white fleshed tropical fruits, a beautiful acid structure and moderate sweetness. I can’t remember what I paid for it, but it was worth every cent.

This doesn’t deserve a rating, it’s that poor…

You have been warned.

Wine Spectator peaked my interest with a whopping 94 pt rating for this example.
It doesn’t fall short, either.
Brioche and roasted almonds on the nose are chased by a honied, almost decadent mid palate. It’s exotic and dense. Loved it so much we procured a case 👊🏾

Sparse notes; very well presented. Young and tannic. Tart cherries transition to barrel toast and prominent tannins. Better in 2-3 years, but quaffable now with air exposure.

Hollow. One dimensional. Not worth your attention. Nothing of note here… this will be immediately dispatched. — 11 days ago

Hi Ron, do you think it might be an off bottle ? I had a few good ones of their own rooted.

@Alexandre Pagliano, let me come back to you on your question, which is appropriate. I purchased several bottles (4 I think), so let’s see. I’ve have other products from this producer in the US and I was impressed, and purchased on that basis. They collaborated with Meo-Camuzet, so I was shocked. I hope that you are right…

Delicate nose of lemons and limes. Nice balanced mouthfeel with Granny Smiths and pears. Moderate weight and finish, with moderate acidity make this a great value buy.
