very enjoyable

Excellent balance and no harsh edges that I thought might have accompanied the ‘88 vintage

but with a few hours’ air it opens to become quite approachable

Drink 2025-2028

trading hands from the influential Ségur family to the Copmartin family

The 1976 vintage was shipping up to be a great year until heavy rain fell during the harvest

Comes with its original wooden box

I would have drunk it sooner if I'd known it was there

a status it has retained through every subsequent reiteration of the famed classification

Shipped and probably bottled by British merchant

2017 was a complex vintage after wild fires devastated many vineyards

a little simpler than the nose implies with a touch more toffee tending to caramel…perfectly pleasant though
