  March 26, 2024 - First have to say this was drank alongside a magnificent 1988 Sassicaia so the competition was tough.
  
  This has very strong tertiary notes, from those I'd have guessed this wine was 20+ years old, however at the same time the tannins are not yet fully integrated so it was somewhat chewy.
  
  I've got another bottle that I'll probably hold at least 10 years - I'm curious as to whether by the time the tannins have resolved there is still enough freshness to make it enjoyable.

  March 10, 2024 - Very, very good. Still needs some time to open up (I did almost 4 hours slow ox), but it’s a really well rounded pomerol, dark fruit, leather, little smoke and a few savory notes. Big but super well balanced, still has many years ahead but not a crime to drink today

  February 25, 2024 - Beautiful, structured, and somewhat reluctant. I agree with practically every note here, but will add one thing: this time the wine seemed just slightly less harmonious than I had thought before. Hard to explain. Likely the taster's lack of reliability more than the wine's.
