I tasted this wine at the PWC France 2005 dinner the other day, having blogged about someone choosing it for Valentine's Day just this February. I am pretty sure I had tasted this classified 3rd Growth a few times before, but this is not an estate with which I am overly familiar. Together with the Ch Beau-Sejour Becot, they were the stars of the evening, one each from right and left banks, though both better for quiet sipping than to match with a cheese souffle suffering from a heavy hand with the nutmeg.
As for this wine, it had a deep ruby rim with a dark core and a sweet fruity nose, which extended well throughout the palate. It was amply supported by an acid tannic backbone.
