(05-2001) A very good '70 and a top vintage for this château. Lovely, rich and well-balanced wine.
(06-1993) The only one not to have a vegetal note next to Montrose, Grand Puy Lacoste, Pédesclaux, Lascombes, Pichon Baron.
(10-2020) At full-maturity, this is not a wine for further aging. But that is just fine. It is already 50 years old. Still, if you are lucky enough to have a bottle, you can find an earthy, tobacco laden, cherry-filled wine with earth, cedar and cigar box notes. This is medium-bodied, silky and refined with a gentle, bright finish. If you are sitting on any, you should be consuming your bottles over the next 5 years or so.
