July 2, 2023 - Decanted in AM and found it delicious at dinner. Ditto earlier reviews, which are also consistent with The Emperor of Wines’ comment about it being more medium-bodied and quaffable like a St.-Julien. Not a pow pow pow wine making big impression in tastings that wowed Parker. Tannins resolved, but barely a trace of sediment.

October 28, 2022 - Decanted. Ripe blackcurrants and gravel, cherries and white flowers, fragrant and open for business, feminine style, ripe grainy tannins are mostly resolved, very good resonance and length. Completely ready, drink now and over the next decade. At the Oxford & Cambridge Club, London, UK.

June 25, 2022 - this is in such a good place for me - really opening now. Still quite a lot of fruit - especially blackcurrant and blackberry - backed up with loads of complexity: vanilla, cloves, thyme and coffee/mocha. Background of cedar. Nice freshness and medium grip. Super interesting and lovely! Long life ahead.
