February 11, 2024 - Middag og noen Bordeaux 80-tall: Blind. Lett brett, dyp og krydret nese med vital frukt - solbær mot svak krekling. Fortryllende. Mye struktur i munnen, kompleks, og alt på plass. Toujour Bordeaux!

November 18, 2023 - Typical and expressive Pauillac aromas with dark cool fruit (like blackberries), pencil, cofee and leather. Firm, focused and concentrated on the palate, with a lot of fresh fruit and tannins left.

October 22, 2023 - Decanted four hours. Leather, earth and coffee on the nose, evoluting to armagnac plum. Good acidity and still some fruits, don't make its age. Delightful.

May 17, 2023 - 醒酒一小时，中石榴红色，香气一绝，太有辨识度了，明显的清凉薄荷带着雪松，黑果和草本气息，还有轻微的动物皮毛，入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，颗粒细腻，量不大，咸矿石的口感，中等酒体，雪松，明显的青味，一些石墨气息，结构清晰，风格严肃，口感紧致，后段还没有太多展现，需要进一步醒酒，此后状态继续攀升，在醒酒三个小时后完全绽放，标志性的拉图青的主导下中后段开始感受到活跃的果香，给严谨的构架带来活泼的能量感，余味是细腻的木质香气，源源不断，娓娓道来。处在适饮巅峰期的一支酒，充分陈年让它显得如此平和大气，因为年份的关系并没有宏大的构架，但依然诠释了拉图不同于其他的深度，精准的细节表达无愧于一级庄该有的水准。
