December 28, 2023 - Tasted blind. Pleasant rum raisin on the nose, leather. On palate, loads of plum, with leather and brett. Nice juicy acidity. Impressed that this is nearly a quarter-century old! Guessed it to be R bank bordeaux with lots of Cab franc, but surprised to see it's all Cab sauv and merlot. It's definitely thinning, so wouldn't store for any longer.

October 20, 2023 - Dark ruby red with a mix of orange and pink rim. Blackberry, blackcurrant, cedar, pencil shaving, cigar box, tobacco and spices. Wine was initially muted and flat. After breathing for 3 hours in the bottle (no decanting), nose was open and filled with bold cedar and pencil shaving found in mature claret. Palate on the other hand, was on the feminine side, with weak fruits and soft/silky tannin.
In my opinion, this wine was at prime, with elements integrated to their optimal point. Any further cellaring might upset the delicate balance the wine had achieved at time of tasting. -

October 15, 2023 - 10/15/23 Very pleasant. The 2000s are starting to show well. Nicely balanced soft tannins. Black fruits, slightly cedar. Good length. Drink but no need to rush. Good enough for family.

September 23, 2023 - Very 2000 in that the colour is very deep, the fruit is plush and there is considerable extract. This was in magnum and felt like it would last another 10+ years easily. Should develop as at present only two dimensional. Impressive if a bit predictable.

July 16, 2023 - This is above expectations. A very pleasant wine in a good place at the moment (kept in a good cellar). It will not get better.
Typical mature Bordeaux
