Decanter - 93 Points
One of the better vintages of the 1970s, from an estate that was recognised to have been particularly successful right from the harvest and was spared the hail that affected some Médoc properties. Today, the nose is dominated by wonderful burnished tobacco, leather and truffle that are such classic markers of older Bordeaux. This is an older wine in its tertiary phase, no question, but it is soft and embracing rather than tired - it gives a shrug and invites you in. The aromatics are less clear than in its youth, but they are still warm, with rich wild strawberries and sweet blackberries burnished with the smoky embers of yesterday's fireplace. (3/2017)
