  April 20, 2024 - At CdB HK dinner. Paired with Latour a Pomerol 2014.
  
  Much softer approachable style and I think well judged for the vintage. Lighter style but lovely nose of raspberries, red cherry and some spice. Refreshing and uplifting to drink already and this is clearly in its drinking window. Will have a very interesting 10 years ahead of it and expect it will improve 1-2 points. Great balance and mouthfeel, very well made and smartly done! Decent to good QPR. Not a 30 year wine but we don’t need everything to be like that!

  January 4, 2020 - Made from Merlot (70 %), Cabernet Franc (25 %), Cabernet Sauvignon (5 %).
  
  Too young but w. great potential. Dry, med acid, body and intensity. Persistent finish. Splendid.
  
  Keep.
  
  My notes: Black fruits, violets, milk chocolate, granite and herbs.

  September 16, 2017 - Trade tasting: This is ethreal, not really overly fruity with plummy and blackberry hints, very good density, nice elegance, good freshness and medium length. Nothing special for 95 Euros. 13.5%.

  November 20, 2016 - dark ruby red
  
  blackberry, black currants, spices - clove
  
  a bit of bret on the nose but barely noticable and other positive sides are owerwhelming so it doesnt hurt a wine that much
  
  Will probably improve with age and maybe even get rid of the traces of bret in the meantime...

  April 24, 2015 - Silky, fresh, sweet, medium bodied and already showing a soft, sensuous quality with plumy fruits at its core, this wine will drink well early. 89-91 Pts
