  May 7, 2024 - Frukt, kryddor och energi! Inte så mycket ceder och blyerts. Hyfsad längd.

  April 18, 2024 - 2019 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is fresh, aromatically expressive and delicately spiced. The bottle is sealed with a DIAM-30 cork. The developing Castillon Bordeaux blend is clear and deep ruby in colour. The wine requires an hour of gentle in-bottle aeration to open up. Aromas of blackberry, violet and mint are followed by coffee, tobacco leaf, potting soil and a hint of blood.
  
  The dry and full-bodied mouthfeel is complemented with relatively high levels of acidity and grainy tannin. There are flavours of bramble, red plum, dark chocolate and mushroom in a medium, gently spiced finish. The 14.5% alcohol is well-concealed. The empty bottle weighs 589 grams.
  
  The wine is composed of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc. The vines are grown on clay and limestone soil. The must is fermented in temperature-controlled wooden and concrete vats for 35 days, with regular punching down to promote extraction. The wine is raised in 30% new oak barrels for sixteen months.

  January 8, 2024 - Viel schmeichelnde, dunkle Primärfrucht. Es fehlt Tiefe und Länge, denn diesbezüglich ist dieser Wein wirklich ein Witz. Auch drei Stunden nach dem Öffnen zeigt sich kaum Tannin. Warten wir den zweiten Tag ab. So un 88 Punkte. 14,5 % Vol.. Bis 2027+?! Bei ebay für knapp 20 Euro erworben. Tag zwei etwas besser. 89 Punkte. Best to drink between 2025 and 2026+.
