  January 14, 2024 - Decanted and waited. Initially very thin, very light and oxidized, improved every time we tried it over a period of five or six hours. Blossomed into an interesting if somewhat past its prime wine. Lots of forest notes. Funk mainly blew off after a long time. Not a lot of fruit.

  November 29, 2023 - Another wine that greatly improved with air. I thought acrid and a bit pruney on decanting, but really fleshes out and bottle stink dissipates. Actually still seems to have a bit of tannin, Cassis, cigarbox, gravel. B+/A-

  April 1, 2023 - Old Bordeaux in Tokyo (Brasserie Paul Bocuse): With Chatters, Vintomas and Mats @Brasserie Paul Bocuse. Theme: Old Bordeaux.
  2023-04-01
  
  Very mature, bricking.
  Nose: dominated by oxidised notes, sous bois but also shows off licorice, charcuterie, metallic aromas, small CF and "gravy".
  In the mouth, this is quite an amazing wine. Not at all as oxidised as the nose had led me to believe. Over the evening, it keeps deepening and growing musculature. Surprisingly pure, red berry fruit. Almost pristine (just a hint of oxidization).
  
  A wine I'm deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy.

  April 1, 2023 - Cellartracker in the flesh with Stefan, Akiko, Mats & Tomas (Paul Boucasse, Tokyo): "Served blind.
  Oxidised, slightly dried blackcurrant, cedar, sweet spice, earth, a little cranberry, touch of smokiness, mushrooms tend to porcini, leathery. On the palate it has medium plus intensity acidity, slightly sour red fruit, leather, earth, mushroom, fresh wild blackcurrant, tannins still drying, chalky textured, fruit just about persists. This grows with time to show more fruit weight and ripens a touch lending more intensity to the blackcurrant on the palate and nose. Yum but fully mature
  I knew this was one of mine"
