  January 18, 2024 - Bromley Wine Circle does Bordeaux - 18th January 2024 (Chez Moi): Brooding, structured, serious. Some soy and cepes umami depth. Palate a little readier to go right now than the 2005 this is served with. With air some earthy beetroot comes to the fore. Really like this.

  July 14, 2023 - 2004 Horizontal Dinner (Tunglok Peking Duck Novena): Medium deep garnet with purple hue, and slight browning on edges. Somewhat muted nose with a bit of pepper, greens, and barnyard, then some minthly greens, while the fruits are struggling to emerge. Similar peppery barnyardy funk on the palate with chewy tannins and fresh acids, and some brine, minerals, dried grass, and underripe black cherry. It is lengthy, but much of the finish is spiced. May perhaps be better in a few years but I'm honestly not sure

  November 25, 2022 - Uppskerusmakk, haust 2022 (Marbakkabraut 12): Heldur ljósara en Vincent Lamothe vínið sem fór á undan. Mjög þroskaður litur. Greinilega ekki ungt vín. Í nefinu: Fjós, ristað brauð og hunang. Mjög fínn ilmur, dökkur og höfugur. Bragðið var svo ekki alveg málið. Byrjaði svosem ágætlega en mjög fljótt fóru að koma óþægilegir málmtónar. Það var samt ekki álitið að vínið væri skemmt. Að öllum líkindum komið vel yfir toppinn. Svo því sé haldið til haga þá voru nú ekki allir á því að vínið væri farið að dala verulega og voru bara ánægðir með það. Sleppi því að gefa einkunn.

  October 1, 2022 - Une très bonne surprise, je m'attendais à un vin plus austère.
  Nez: viandé/cuir, cendre, cassis, touche florale (lilas). Bouche: étoffé, plein, tanins polissés, excellent équilibre, très long

  May 31, 2022 - Brought this to a wine dinner at East Treasure with my wine mates. Theme of the evening: Wines from regions which start with the letter "B". Decanted for 60 mins prior to consumption.
  
  Classic Bordeaux, with notes of red fruits, wild mushrooms, aged leather, chewy tannins and a touch of cigar. In between the primary and secondary stages at the moment; the fruits are still evident though fading, with the secondary notes arriving though still distant.
  
  Suggest to hold on to this bottle for a few more years before consuming.
