  March 1, 2024 - Reifes Rubin. In der Nase mit schwarzer Johannisbeere, Kirschen und Pflaumen, dazu eine laktische Note, Weihnachtsgewürze. Im Gaumen rund, weich, feinkörniges Tannin, sehr gute Balance, markante Säure, rotfruchtiges Finale.

  February 26, 2024 - There is the basis of a good wine trying to get out here, you get glimpses of it, but perhaps the vintage is just simply working against it. Ultimately a bit disappointing, maybe time will bring more life?

  February 24, 2024 - PnP though developed in glass. Based on other reviews this may have improved with more age or air. Deep dark colour, no bricking. Leather, spices and dark fruit on nose and palate. Nice balance of tannin and acid. Overall a classic St Estephe

  May 31, 2023 - Still some time to go on this. DD'd for an hour the prior night and opened again for dinner the following evening.
  Opaque colouring, with notes of black fruit & pencil shavings on the nose. Still a good deal of tannin and acidity on the palate. No rush to open the next bottle but worked well with a selection of grilled meats at a local chop house

  February 14, 2023 - Color opaque ruby, slight start on getting coppery, still feel young. On the nose, leathery, dark cherry, blueberry, notes of tabacco, spices, hints of citrus, very aromatic after an hour of opening. Very well integrated, long lasting mouthfeel, tanins pleasants, does not feel the 11 years, nice acidity, a little after taste, but nothing unpleasant. Great wine overall, will probably improve over the next few years, and get to 93, may be 94!
