  February 16, 2023 - Bordeaux 2003 Horizontal (Piccolino, Exchange Square, London): From magnum. Lemon oil and crème pat on the nose. Some candied grapefruit too, later some lime juice. Palate is well balanced with some chalky freshness, with air something subtly tropical emerges like candied papaya. Very good.

  February 16, 2023 - 2003 Bordeaux @ Piccolino (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Mag. Pale straw. Creamy, chalky nose. Nice shape and weight. A sense of dosage on the finish. Very drinkable. Broadens with air. The dosage does stick out a bit as it warms, but fresh in the glass it’s a solid ****

  July 1, 2022 - 4th bottle of this and it never disappoints. I've had better bottles though, and I'm wondering how this will age. Better with air for sure, but holds up fairly well. Good fruit, balanced, somewhat complex. I think I slightly preferred it two years ago when it was younger and fresher but maybe it's just in a middle phase now.

  May 19, 2022 - Another year around the sun-Birthday #42 (Daisies and Pops for Champagne-Chicago, IL): This was from Magnum and it was just killer from the get go. The nose is beautiful and balanced with tones of red and green apples, kumquats, quince, pears, mineral notes, white flowers, baked bread, warm dough, baking spices, and a good dose of biscuits. The Medium bodied feel is well balanced and deep with mouthwatering, high acidity. This shows more of the autolytic side while also showing lovely and rounded citrus notes. This is just fantastic right now and a real joy to drink.

  November 25, 2021 - Awesome - very bready/yeasty but still quite lean and focused with lots of lemony acidity. All in all great
