Information sur le millésime 1952 de Bordeaux rouge: 2-. La saison de croissance réelle a été très satisfaisante jusqu'à Septembre; qui était froid et instable. La récolte s'est faite assez tôt et je soupçonne que l'immaturité de certains vins soit responsable de sa variabilité.

Of two bottles, one tasted tired, but the other was smooth, deliciously complex, mature but still vibrant, with spicy, minty, cola aromas and smooth, elegant flavors.
