I have always felt this wine to be one of the more successful Medocs from the 1966 vintage. At a tasting in November the wine exhibited attractive cedary, herb, and cassis scents, medium-bodied, ripe flavors, fine balance, and soft tannin in the sweet, elegant finish.
I liked it in cask and have liked it consistently since then. It developed misleadingly early, its style suiting the vintage.
