  February 10, 2023 - Decanted for approximately 40 minutes and enjoyed over the next 2 hours. Seems to be in a good place. Classic old world style. Tannins dominate, but in a good way.

  December 26, 2020 - Decanted for an hour in the glass. Stewed cherries on the nose. The palate is much more balanced now that the tannins have integrated. Really in a good spot now....finally.

  August 7, 2020 - Drank over 2 days first glass was very green tasting not as I’d expect from a st emillion. 2nd night much more enjoyable w typical dark fruit flavors. Give it some air.

  January 9, 2019 - Much better than a bottle tasted last year, this still has a lot of heat and some tannins, but it's drinking as well as it ever will. Some interesting citrus notes amid the still-dominant oak flavours together with some good cherry notes, but this could have been so much better without the vanilla and mocha from all that oak. If you like that sort of thing, it's fine, hence the score, but not a patch on the 98 or the 01.
