    April 13, 2024 - Oh my...Losing focus and fruit but the brick house under it is all there, brick by brick. This bottle came across as a bit clumsy. Loud...Belligerent. Said allot, but didn't say much. Shows quality, shows no Bordeaux. Shows cedar and some graphite, but lacks balance. Lets hope its in re-balance mode. Long, coarse, dry finish. My advice to others and a note for myself is: drink this by itself, not in a lineup of supposed peers. Drink

    April 7, 2024 - 16-19 C, decant needed (but not much) and appx 1-2h. With filet n bea.

    Best at start 16-17C with hard cheese. More dry and harsh with the food an18-19 C.

    Keep at 15-17, salty meat and decant 1-2h.

    Dark berries, tar, pencil lead.

    Now sure if it is a drink now or keep 3y.

    April 4, 2024 - Taken out to a local BYO. Popped and poured. Still very primary with strong cassis characters on nose and palate. Tannins have almost all gone with this bottle. Long life ahead.
