March 23, 2024 - I probably should have decanted based on the amount of sediment, but no harm, no foul. I let it breathe in the bottle for 90 minutes. Nice bouquet, with red fruit and some earth. The structure and balance were well done. Elegant, which in my mind means it cannot be truly full-bodied & powerful but rather a strong medium-bodied wine approaching full-bodied. Nice flavors of cherry, minerals, earth, and vanilla, with a hint of raspberry. Medium-long delicious finish. Tannins have mostly integrated, so I think it is at its peak. This was my first exposure to this Chateau and I look forward to tasting more of its wine.

December 24, 2023 - BDX funk blew off with an hour in the decanter, drank well over the next 2 hours. Red and blue fruited, with decent acidity and plenty of tannic grip. Structurally this feels like it has plenty of time left. Really lovely wine, more on the finesse than power side, glad I have more to watch.

December 1, 2023 - Dinner at Josephine's with Bill and Susan. PNP. Nice earth, red fruit and tobacco on the nose. Fully mature with perfect balance. Red fruits, earth and some secondary notes on the palate. Great bottle. 9th of 12 purchased as futures and stored at 55 degrees - I will drink my remaining bottles over the next year or two. 93 points
