  April 9, 2024 - At St John Tavern: OK. Reasonalby elegant claret, a touch of cedar, silky texture, but not very expressive.

  April 8, 2024 - Nose: Cassis, chalky earth. Palate: tart raspberry, sour pomegranate, tangy, soft tannins coupled with high acidity. Was somewhat better on day two with the tanginess subsiding a bit; however, the structure is a bit off-balanced to me.

  February 25, 2024 - Bell pepper, green stems, blackberry, pickled green peppercorns, pencil and leather on the nose.
  Tight and cool in the mouth. Tobacco, black pepper, plenty of grip. Some black currant, and a fruity acidity. Still a tad bit young…

  January 19, 2024 - A bit dissapointing for a Cantemerle 2nd wine. Some sour grapes that I found were too dominant. Perhaps a few more years in the cellar will integrate more.....Had this one right after a low priced La Tour De By 2016 that was in much better balance.

  August 18, 2022 - Pleasant, if dilute, on day one; bloody, astringent on day two - despite vacuum seal and refrigeration.
