April 12, 2024 - Poured through Venturi. Enjoyed this much more than last bottle two years ago; seems to have knit together well, with fruit outlasting the tannins.

April 7, 2024 - Classic Langoa. Medium weight, fruit/alcohol/tannins all balanced. At its best. Drink in the next 2-3 years.

March 30, 2024 - Not impressive. Coravin'd 8 oz. Let it sit in a good Bordeaux glass for 30 min then consumed over another 30 minutes. I beleive the others have had a more exciting interface with this wine and hope that perhaps this just needs more time to unfold. But I am skeptical as I do not sense the same St Julien fine military grandeur that a Ducrcu, Beychevelle or Leoville delivers. Interesting to see that Jancis downgraded her score over time.

January 31, 2024 - Beautiful nose, showing lots of black fruit, sweet tobacco, a tad dusty. On the palate, nice acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Black tea and black fruit. Needed 1.5 hrs in the decanter to improve. Could age longer if you want more tertiary notes.

January 26, 2024 - Perfect closure. Deepest garnet - vibrant with no hint of bricking up and such a narrow clear rim. Amazing after 19 years! Nose is still primary fruit with a hint of smokiness. Blackcurrant - lean and green - soft tannins but as with all 05’s plenty of them! Super soft furry landing - decanted but no time so maybe a little longer decant in order?
