  November 30, 2023 - Our 2nd red tasted blind. Another 1988! Celebrating LF’s bday 30.11.2023 at Maillard.
  This has more fresh fruit, plum, cassis & dried tobacco leaves. Dusty tannins with complex layers of dried fruit & minerality.
  
  Thank you bro @juliansi

  May 22, 2023 - The nose is absolutely splendid! A delightful drink. Subtle notes of very fine black fruits on the nose, a hint of sweet candies and also, a touch of sweet minerals! Silky smooth texture on the palate, sweet, vibrant fruits! At its peak in my view and surprisingly dark in colour!

  March 3, 2023 - Drank after brief decanting at Champetre with the Oz. Opaque, inky black color. Very generous nose of black fruit, plums, earth, and cedar. Medium body, still decent fruit level but wine is showing principally tertiary qualities: mushrooms, cedar, earth, leather, smoke and a bit of lead pencil perhaps. Complex and concentrated, though the fruit seems not fully ripe, with some greenish notes. Nice length, tannins are mostly resolved. Very enjoyable, particularly with the great French food. The wonderful nose was the best aspect of this wine!

  June 7, 2022 - My final bottle, this was ready to go from the start with an hour in the decanter. Drinking at its peak, it is not going develop further and probably at the start of a slow decline. Full of red cherry, blackberry, and tobacco, the tannin has resolved but retains bite. Everything is well balanced and rounded on the palate and finish. Highly enjoyable. 90+

  April 27, 2022 - Rauzan Segla vertical tasting, wine #4. Fully matured hedonistic and meditational Rauzan, slightly thinner and shaded than expected, but still showing good concentration, structure and elegance. A blend of 68% CS, 30% Merlot and 2% PV. Deep garnet. Intense aroma of smoke, mushrooms, dried cherries and plums, medicinal notes, vanilla, dry leaves. Medium body, velvety and structured entry with signs of tiredness, smoky and toasted fruit flavours, earthy hints. Harmonious balance, fine slightly worn out tannins.
