Informations sur le millésime 1953 Bordeaux rouge:
Un de mes millésimes préférés de tous les temps, alliant le parfum, la finesse et le charme, incarnant le meilleur des vins de Bordeaux. Vieillissement avec élégance.

17.5/20

Jancis Robinson

(9-2005) This was another vintage showing considerable bottle variation. Very dark, blackish ruby. Sweet, smoky nose but on the palate slightly loose and then astringent on the finish – though the sweet start remained.
