June 10, 2023 - revisiting this wonderful wine and v pleased that it continues to perform well. noticing some different nuances this time around… bouquet showing a little more earthy, herbal, plummy, sanguine this time. palate is clearly mature but still lively and even with a big decant, tannic. red berries, menthol, and lovely saline note on the finish.

October 21, 2022 - Friday Night Brown Bagger (EBCC): Blind. Light color with hints of raisin, bouillon and red fruit. Better on the palate, with red fruit, soft acidity and hints of raisin in the finish.
This had been double decanted off its sediment a couple of hours before the flight was poured. -

September 28, 2022 - out of the bottle, the colour is a mature, brick red. nose is a knockout, powerful yet elegant, with mineral, floral and white pepper notes. palate is surprisingly lively, lifted, a little tart, cranberry, good acidity, and still, with prominent tannic grip on the back end, even after an hour+ of air. muscular and showy.

Horribly corked. TCA - musty cupboard with cockroach smells. Ugh.
Hope the next bottle of this vintage in the case is fine. -

September 9, 2018 - Pop and Pour. 30 minutes later, the wine as showing very well. Lovely dark fruits, forest floor, Oak and still thick but pliable tannins
