  November 23, 2022 - Very smooth - really enjoyed it - opened 2 hour before tasting. Seems to me and my wife it's ready to drink - My last bottle so I won't know if it gets any better.

  December 30, 2021 - Decanted for almost 3 hours. Aromas of blackberry, currant, black cherry, lead pencil and plum. Flavors of blackberry, currant, raspberry, sour cherry and bit of earth . Ends with a 30-35 second finish with sour cherry and raspberry notes. Lot of sour red and black fruit on the palate on this which is reflective of the vintage. Still a long life ahead of this though.
  
  Update: this faded badly. Downgraded the score.

  April 4, 2021 - 嗅觉上是比较浓重的黑果，黑樱桃、黑莓和黑加仑，随后带出明显的桶味，香草奶油，随后还出现一些黄油的质感，黑胡椒、甘草还有些香料，整体规整，比较匀称，但由于年份原因，缺少一些宽阔感和爆发力。入口亦然，酒体中，有些清瘦，算平衡。丹宁中低，铺满口腔，粉质感细腻，中后段有收紧。多黑樱桃、黑李子等黑果，带一点点石墨，轻微的植被梗青掩盖得不错。流畅的桶味，香草、甘草和淡淡的奶油，余味不算太长。92-93/100

  March 21, 2021 - Decanted two hours before service. In the glass, medium-dark maroon at the rim, shading to dark almost-black violet-maroon at the core. On the nose, currants, bell pepper, and oak. On the palate, currants, plums, and that cocoa/mocha note you expect from To-Kalon fruit, with mild but persistent tannins on a moderately long finish. As others have noted, given the vintage, this is quite an achievement.

  February 15, 2021 - A bit tart and backwards but still exceptional. A testament to the producer for what was a bad vintage for all.
