  January 13, 2023 - Wonderful wine, with great nose, great fruit, very well balanced and maybe also with some tannins left.
  The wine kept improving during our 3 hour dinner so maybe we should have decanted.
  Great without food, but even better with food - did very well with an entrecote.
  Perfectly cellared since release.
  Low fill (low shoulders) so we feared that the wine should not be drinkable, but we were wrong.
  The cork was completeley soaked.

  November 26, 2022 - First time a had a wine of my own vintage...
  Brick coloured, but very bright. A great nose with leather, a bit of rose hip and allspice. A touch of earthiness that left after some time. Decanting done directly before serving. The wine developed in the glass for almost two hours. The taste was complex with tertiary aromas, medium+ acidity, very smoth, almost fully resolved tannins, leather, a bit of oak and some mature sweet plum notes and a really long finish. I'm not very used to 60 years old wine but the overall impression was a solid mature wine in a good condition.

Smooth and silky on the palate, it was a touch earthy at the beginning, then enormous amount of slightly sweet fruits start to take over, quite a magical process, offering a lengthy satisfying finish, I found it quite a bit of surprise, such vibrancy and youthfulness

  July 2, 2022 - This starts off pencilly with touches of creosote and cigar; blackberry emerges with air. Fully resolved; pretty is missing some substance.
