June 9, 2022 - Well stored bottle but tasted past prime. Nothing much of interest but did not taste corked.

April 11, 2022 - Last of my 12 bottles bought en primeur. It has been such an interesting journey to follow this wine that was one of the "big, small wines" of 2005 in Bordeaux. In many ways it ended on a high note - perfectly mature now. Still very dark and dense, but more in balance now than previously.

July 16, 2020 - PnP through Nuance Wine Finer. Still nice balance. Fair amount of sediment. Dark fruit on the nose, hint of leather. On the palate, nice balance of fruit and minerality. Medium finish. For a reasonably priced bottle, has held up well. Enjoyed. 88pts. Aloha!

April 4, 2020 - Still very dark. Much more youthful than its age should indicate. Starting to show more Bordeaux notes than it did some years back. Quite full-bodied and fruit-packed. Certainly a good glass of wine (especially the modest en-primeur price taken into consideration). Still a bit unsure where this wine will go. I think I'll wait a couple of years before opening the next bottle.
