February 21, 2022 - Gareth's Cru Bourgeois Dinner (Hawksmoor, Guildhall, London): Still quite youthful on the nose, if a touch reticent, showing dark fruit, soil, tobacco. Cedary blackcurrant fruit on the palate, soft tannins, harmonious, some spice and tobacco but still mainly on its fruit, finishes well with some soil notes. Delicious.

February 21, 2022 - Gareth’s ‘Cru Bourgeois’ @ Hawksmoor: Ruby to mid garnet. Proper claret nose. Cedar, cigar box, a smidge of graphite. Fruit on the wain but still harmonious. Cool and poised. Lovely, but time to drink up. ***1/2

December 2, 2020 - Pours light garnet in the glass. Nose is mature but not terribly compelling or complex of celery seed, old leather, dried cherry, and cedar. The palate is mostly resolved, with medium minus tannin, medium acid and a slight bitter herbal edge. Enjoyable but would not seek out.

April 13, 2020 - Rich bouquet of various black fruit (plum, black currant), spicy (green and black pepper), tobacco, leather, dark chocolate. The 35 year old gentleman can unfortunately not compare with the remarkably forceful 1993 "youngster". The wine is at its best when the bottle is a bit more chilly than normal (say 14 degrees C) and is then allowed to slowly warm up and develop in the glass. As always with a great wine, the last drops are the best and leave the desire for more.
