December 30, 2023 - WOW, this is wonderful! Tastes of sweet, plump prunes and raisins, with minerals and light savory notes in the background. Super-balanced, just great.

December 28, 2023 - messy cork that did not come out completely, we had to push it in the bottle... gave residu in bottle.
No detailed notes but I quite liked the power and density. Still tannic, dark robust fruits, mineral driven and a long lingering finish.
lets hope the next cork is a bit better ;-) -

December 16, 2023 - Incredibly nose with black fruit, a lot of licorice and orange. A lot of power and energy here, but keeps the balance with sweetness and nice tannins in the pretty long finish. Very young when opened and needs at least 2 hours in the decanter. Amazing.

November 25, 2023 - This was a disappointment. A recently acquired bottle, it wasn’t corked but was definitely lacking secondary and tertiary characteristics one would expect at 23 years. Good solid cherry fruit, a hint of chocolate and not much else.
