  July 8, 2021 - My second to last bottle of this. Tasted again after nearly six years and 16 years in bottle. A little ragged when first opened but after 30 minutes of breathing it really opened up.
  
  Color: Beautiful deep ruby/purple center with pink/ruby rim. No browning at all.
  ]
  Nose: Deep, rich nose of meat, stewed dark fruits, violet and vanilla.
  
  Palate: Bright fruit flavors and silky tannins on the palate. Red fruits and good acidity keep everything in balance.
  
  Overall: This keeps getting better with age. I'm going to try to wait another five years before opening my last bottle.

  June 11, 2017 - Schwarzrot, klar, leicht bräunliche Ränder. Dunkle Cabernetfrucht, Röstaromen, Brioche, Hauch von Kaffee, nicht übermäßig viel, dafür sehr festes Sediment. Ich finde dieses kleine Chateau macht einen ganz tollen, gradlinigen Wein zu einem günstigen Preis. Dass der Wein so locker fast fünfzehnn Jahre wegsteckt, begeistert mich und schließt auf handwerkliche Könnerschaft.

  January 4, 2016 - Wird immer besser. Eine ehrliche Haut zum sehr guten Preis. Schön gealtert. Dunkel, erdig, dezente Cabernet-Frucht.

  December 11, 2015 - Hat sich gut gehalten, gealtert aber nicht überaltert; dunkles, recht dichtes Rot, leichte Trübung aber wenig Sediment; erdig-würzig, zu Anfang leicht bitter; rustikaler Wein bei sehr ordentlichem PLV

  August 27, 2015 - Starting to come into a sweet spot after 10 years in bottle.
  
  Color: Deep purple to ruby rim\
  Nose: Deep, smokey, meaty aromas now cover the alcohol. Some spice, hay and black fruits.
  Palate: Nice grip and balance. Fairly long too. Tannins resolving. Flavors of plum, spice, smoked meat, and leather.
  
  Not elegant by a long shot. Dare I say, rustic? But a complete and enjoyable wine to be served with red meat or robust stews.
