April 28, 2024 - Again quite rich but not very structure or aromatic. Settled on aged New World Pinot.

April 27, 2024 - Double-blind. Never had this wine before. I actually preferred this to the two Raya served earlier. Burgundian and weightless, very good wine.

April 26, 2024 - Jason's birthday: Brought for a friend. Burgundian nose but palate was a little tannic and alcoholic than I would have liked, most guessed northern Rhone possibly because of the hint of herbaceousness. Became more elegant with air but still too much cherry kirsch and garrigue for me. Badly in need of more time.

December 23, 2023 - Bottle decanted for 2+ hours.
Not expressive and did not show strong potential. -
Claret & CdP Gang Likes this wine:
December 4, 2022 - Popped & poured, lots going on the nose, chargrilled meat, bacon, toffee, constantly evolving, after 2 hours vanilla & roasted coffee beans, on the palate medium bodied, rich, sweet, exquisite balance & mouthfeel, been a while since my last Celestins, stellar ‘big boy’ juice
