March 5, 2023 - Quite smooth. Not acidic
November 1, 2022 - Flawed bottle which had been left out in a warm room in Singapore for 2+ years. On the nose surprisingly promising showing mature earthy and leafy claret notes with a touch of stewed dark fruits. Palate not undrinkable, but with some harsh notes of matchstick on the finish, betraying its poor storage. Stewed cherry and cassis with a mature leafy undertone. Still good acidity. Overall this was tolerable to drink and I was happy to try it. I imagine it would be a pretty decent mature claret if stored correctly!
February 20, 2022 - Alderspreget forsiktig lukt av mørk frukt.
Mørke bær, men ikke så veldig kratig. Godt integrerte tanniner. Lang. Kanskje litt over topp, savner litt fruktighet eller tyngde, men for all del, en god vin.
October 29, 2021 - Pleasant but past it’s prime. Time to drink up.
August 20, 2020 - Fully developed, the wine is medium-bodied and loaded with tobacco, wet earth, forest floor and red pit fruits. On the palate, the wine is a bit old school rustic with a bright red plum and cranberry edge along with a touch of herbs and earth in the finish. There is no reason to hbold this any longer.
June 3, 2020 - First had this wine at a Giscours wine dinner in DC. It drank beautifully over the meal. I bought a few extra bottles after. Revisited and the wine still held up. The fruit is dustier and tertiary notes came forward. Would not recommend aging much further if you still want to get the fruit.
November 15, 2019 - Deep ruby red color. Decanted and drank over 90 minutes. Nose of cassis, dust, some earth, and black currants. On the palate a bit rustic, dark berries, cassis and earth, medium weight mid palate and a decent finish but nothing outstanding. Still a good wine from one of my favorite left bank vintages.
September 29, 2019 - Still alive with good colour and depth. Decanted and showed considerable sediment.
July 23, 2019 - Brick red. Nose shows leather, cherries and black currants. In mouth, quite good fruit but with a sensation of dried fruits, specifically black currants. Will not get better, but still drinks very well!
