Maybe I'm not educated enough to understand the wines as Pro's do, maybe they are somehow conflicted... I don't know.

For me it has entered it's drinking window, but some people have a preference for wines when they taste older. However, I'm not a Pro... it's just the opinion of an average wine drinker.
8/8/19, 9:06 AM - I know some Bordeauxs face an odd fase during it's life, but I can't tell if that's the case here or not. What I have learned however, is that it's usually very helpful to send an e-mail to the producer, since they taste the wines constantly over time, and they can always help when it comes to defining the drinking window.

8/4/18, 5:25 PM - Did the note using a smartphone, so I guess I hit the screen accidentally... now it's correct. Thanks for your comment.

I think that's a wine to buy cheap and drink on an unpretentious evening.
8/9/17, 6:21 AM - I know the Chateau for a while and I'm convinced that no bottle should be opened with less than 16 years for regular vintages, and 20 years for the great ones. If I had to build a raking of the wines that take longer to enter the drinking window, among all the wines I've tasted in life, this one would certainly be a Top 3. Good news is it usually pays off after the wait.

Specially when it comes to great vintages, I would say hold at least 20 years. For example, the 1982 was fantastic last year.
6/17/15, 12:13 PM - Good, thanks for the comment. As you can see from my post I was in doubt about where the problem was, and I was willing to wait 3 or 4 more years before opening the next bottle. I have two left, and I'll try another one soon then.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
