Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Chateau l'Argenteyre has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, sous bois and tobacco scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good structure and an insistent grip on the finish that is backed up by clean and fresh fruit. I like the sturdiness of this Médoc, coupled with just the right amount of finesse. Tasted September 2017.

The 2014 Chateau l'Argenteyre has a crisp blackberry and briary-scented bouquet that is understated but focused. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and boysenberry fruit, slightly angular tannin but with impressive focus on the linear and masculine finish. It lacks a little excitement but it should still offer drinking pleasure for 4-6 years. Tasted September 2016.

An easy, consumer-friendly style of wine with a deep ruby color, sweet blackcurrant and cassis fruit, moderate body and soft tannins, this is a successful 2012 Médoc to drink over the next 4-5 years.

Also recommended, but no tasting note given.

Good red fruits, earthy touch and good balance. Drink 2014-2018. (15 points)
