December 9, 2023 - Blackberry, dark chocolate, bitter herbs. This is tightly wound, give it sufficient air or cellar time. Still improving, I'll try to hold onto my other bottle for at least 5 years. Solid, but not currently worth the $50 I spent.

September 24, 2023 - Still has a fair amount of dark red fruit - cassis, red currant on the nose with some secondary flavors of dark chocolate, tabacco. Earthly notes and medium tannins that softened a little after about 2hrs being open. Medium-long finish with balanced tannin / acid.

August 3, 2023 - Senteur de cassis et crayon de mine. Demande 1h de carafe minimum. Très astringent avec goût terreux.

January 9, 2023 - (Verkostet im Oktober 2022 auf Château Olivier) Kräftiges Rubinrot. Die Nase ist würzig, tiefgründig, mit viel reifer Frucht, Cassis, Brombeeren, Süssholz, Tabak, Kräutern und Weihnachtsgewürzen. Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert, ein Mund voll Wein, viel Tannin, merklich Säure, da ist Druck, Kraft, Konzentration und doch viel Frische, balanciert, mit gut verpacktem Holz ist dies ein 2010er, der in ein erstes, schönes Trinkfenster kommt. 91 vvPunkte www.vvwine.ch

October 29, 2022 - Dinner at Wah Lok. Big, exuberant, hedonistic. Full body. Sweet and fully ripe fruit. 14.5% abv. Has generosity and balance although still lacking in complexity. Good QPR. My favorite red vintage from this producer - this is the vintage when Olivier punches well above its weight class.
