March 2, 2024 - Typical Bordeaux on the nose, but a bit muted and unbalanced. Probably should have decanted the bottle.

January 18, 2024 - My last of these. This is one of the best of the '14 vintage I've had, as I tend to find the '14 Bordeaux vintage a bit closed and awkward. This is so refined, classy and polished. It's showing quite well now too.

January 1, 2024 - Opened for a good eight hours before serving with roast leg of lamb. This is in a beautiful place right now. Generous blackcurrant fruit, some pencil shavings/graphite, and a bit of cedar/cigar box coming on. Nice bitter edge to it on the palate, which means food really is a must here. (It’s classified Bordeaux, so that kind of goes without saying.) The only reasons I’m not rating this higher right now is because 1) I suspect it isn’t peaking yet, and 2) the finish did leave a little something to be desired and was slightly overwhelmed by the richness of the fat from the excellent local lamb.

December 23, 2023 - Noch deutlich Tannine, jung aber schon trinkbar und erstaunlich ausgewogen, mehr Frucht als der 2012er
