  August 13, 2023 - Redcurrant and cranberry fruit, some cedar/woody notes, obviously not the concentration of the first wine, but a nice package, very enjoyable and good value.

  March 12, 2023 - Half. Deep ruby. Attractive nose, blackcurrant and mulberry fruit, some sandalwood. Classical left bank frame with a little extra density to the fruit from the vintage. Really very attractive and a good match for the Sunday roast beef with bone marrow jus. Now midway though the case and it’s in it’s prime in half bottle format. ***

  June 15, 2022 - Note: I use the suggested scale for ratings, so 85 represents a very good wine.
  
  Not quite as enjoyable as the last bottle, not quite as flavorful.
  May have been bottle shock -- transported to Europe in early May.
  I thought a month would be enough, maybe not.

  January 20, 2022 - Fresh crunchy red fruit with some secondary development. Doubt this will improve, but drinking well now and very food friendly.
