December 9, 2023 - Cork disintegrated, don’t even try with a screw use a cork fork. Had to strain the wine, but it was beautiful and elegant, fruit had taken a back seat to earth and oak spice but was still present. Dry finish but fully resolved tannins. This wine sure does deliver!

March 20, 2023 - Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep garnet color. Lovely bouquet of sweet, dusty dried blackberries, lavender, fennel, mocha, bourbon vanilla, sweet spicy oak. Similar on the palate, full body, seamless, balanced, velvet mouthfeel, lingering finish. Another example of a great wine in a difficult vintage from a legendary producer that was unjustly out of favor with the critics at the time.

February 11, 2023 - One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Some sediment in screen. During decant lovely (but not overpowering) aromas of dark fruit compote arose. After resting, nose was: blackberry, plums, and bing cherries. Some buttered toast as well. In the mouth, wine was a subtle mix of the above fruits; well balanced; an easy drink from the first sip to the last one which was quite long and pleasant. A great wine.

June 10, 2022 - 93+, flawless bottle. Could easily pop and pour at this stage but this did develop nicely after observing over 2+ hours of air time
