    January 1, 2024 - Red-brown mature dark color. Ripe scent of dark ripe berries. Hints of moldy leaves, forest, cedar with a ladylike character. Low acidity but still some dusty ripe blue plums and black currants. Good

    March 29, 2023 - Sipped at Hooters Bangkok. All the Hooters' ladies were impressed as none of them were as old as the bottle ;-)

    February 6, 2023 - Very good bottle. Has been in the same cellar from it was bought.

    After ten minutes it really opened up on the nose. Not much fruit left but classic Bdx taste and almost no tannins.

    May 20, 2017 - Pretty floral nose, medium body, everything in balance. Still a noticeable tannic backbone but not in an overbearing way. I really enjoyed this.
