  March 29, 2023 - Opened with Acker in HK. P&P, but breathed for several hours before serving.
  
  Given the other scores here, maybe I'm being overly harsh? Or perhaps it's the style - I just don't think I ever got to grips with this wine, or maybe it needed decanting rather than slow-ox. Anyway, very concentrated and meaty, which means it either needs time (most likely time) and/or air. Probably both. Can see some potential but not a hedonistic or expressive style and will take a long time to get there.

  December 14, 2022 - Expressive nose displaying concentrated black fruit, blackberry, blackberry liqueur, grilled fatty steak, dark flowers, dark spices and limestone. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of opulent black fruit, rich and full, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long concentrated black fruit driven finish. There is not much sous bois development. This can easily improve for a couple more decades.

  October 27, 2022 - First of 12, deep dark and dense, drank over approx 5 hours and this wine never really opened up. But nice concentration and depth.

  January 7, 2022 - nose - dark berry, maple
  mouth - juicy, cornucopia of red fruit, nice concentration but seems less rich than the prior bottle.

  November 14, 2021 - nose - dark fruit, date, smoky,
  mouth - serious dark fruited wine here. impressively rich with oak to match. rare for me to come across such an unabashed fruit bomb out of burgundy. I suppose you might call this a new world style. I'll be sure to drink my other bottle with the new world crew.
