  February 25, 2023 - rebouché en 2011, Sotheby's ex-château auction 4 October 2013 - served without decanting. Definitely smoky with tobacco notes, still got the fruit. Condition is very, very good and still very much alive. Around 30 minutes in there was almost a hint of metallic notes. Still OK at about 45 minutes in, with a hint of green bell peppers. The wine lasted more than an hour, which was a testament to its condition.

  October 6, 2018 - I seldom see wines produced during the war years. All things considered, this was better than expected. Light in weight, the wine was more interesting on the nose than on the palate, which offered elegant, refined textures, without much concentrartion, depth or length.

  September 19, 2009 - Mature nose, more backward than the '45 but still very nice.
  Palate had still incredible weight for such an old wine but contained a green tone. Also little bit dry.
  Still very nice!
