August 21, 2023 - Wow. What a lovely Bordeaux especially given the vintage. Lovely pencil and tabacco flavours. Enjoy if you have it.

April 14, 2023 - St. Emilion night (Chicago, IL): Surprisingly good, especially for the washout vintage. I guess not being able to push the ripeness as hard as possible meant that the estate could try and produce something a little more elegant. And for the most part, they succeeded. The oak still shows a distinct coconut/vanilla/lactone thing, and the palate is relatively hollow. But there's good acidity and grape as opposed to oak tannin. Drinks like a very nice bistro wine.

April 9, 2023 - At end of life. Not what I was hoping for rather thin and flat. Not much on the nose and somewhat acidic. Some fink which was interesting but not enough to overcome the other aspects that were not great. I hoped for more

October 18, 2021 - Fully developed, the wine is quite mineral-driven on the nose and palate, where you find strong oceanic, salty notes that combine with the concentrated, layers of sweet, ripe, black and red fruits, licorice, smoke and dried flower nuances. Decanted about 30 minutes prior to sering seemed to do the trick.
