November 21, 2023 - Lots of farmyard notes on the nose, with some air more moka, still good fruit, also meaty, some funky and rustic flavors, some dark chocolate. Tannins are soft now, but one could wish for a bit more body and length. Classy St. Estephe style though. - 90 points

August 9, 2021 - Bouchon non entamé.
Robe : noire avec à peine une trace d'évolution. De belles larmes s'écoulent le long de la paroi du verre
Nez : sur l'humus, le tabac
En bouche : les tanins sont fondus, cela emplit bien la bouche, on a une belle longueur en bouche
Beau vin à maturité -

January 3, 2021 - Nice surprise ! Still very much on primary notes. Needs at least 1 hr of air before drinking. Medium bodied.

December 21, 2019 - What a wonderful wine! With one hour of air there is a nicely balanced claret with nice fruit and secondary/tertiary aromas. It´s just a bit light and thin. Some green aromas fade away after 6 hours of air, but then the secondary aromas also have disappeared.
Knowing the bad vintage, its a surprisingly good wine for little money.
