  November 8, 2022 - Strawberry, black currant, cedar, freshly polished black boot leather, dry undergrowth, and sweet liquorice. An amazing nose. On the palette, less ripe fruit, but beautifully balanced cedar, leather, and under ripe berries. Although the fruit has become a little riper on the second glass. Compared to the 1995 that I had about 18 months ago, this is significantly less concentrated and more austere on the palette, but is still a fantastic, classic, left bank.

  November 7, 2022 - Stood up for three months. Bottom neck. Cork in pristine condition. Decanted for two hours. A medium ruby core fading to a pale ruby outer edge. Opens up with aromas of cedar, red berries, blackcurrant, liquorice, a touch of lavender, shoe polish, and campfire smoke. The palate - while less expressive and inviting than the nose - is texturally soft and rounded. As a direct comparison to the 1995, which was outstanding this is not as sleek, polished or concentrated - and overall presents as more classical and austere as one might expect from the contrasting vintages.

  February 5, 2022 - At the last leg of cycle. But still drinking well. Notes of black fruits, char wood, toast, spices. Drink up soon.

  February 17, 2021 - Farbe leicht bräunlich. Nase typisch Bordeaux, minimal oxidativ. Im Mund dunkle Früchte, etwas Kirsche. Guter, reifer Bordeaux, sicher noch gut bis 2025(?).
