  January 17, 2024 - Medium+ nose intensity with notes of mushroom, earth, spices, black fruits. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Will not improve. Drink up.

  September 28, 2023 - Drank during Cornerstone Provenance Night Event with more than 30 wines tasting. Did not have enough time to take down notes and didn’t have proper wine glasses. In general, the wines are still drinking fine and have characteristics of old vintage wine; forest floor, some barnyard, spices, tea, hawthorn, toast. I only managed to use my own personal score to rate the wine.

  January 12, 2022 - Note: I use the recommended scale for ratings.
  
  Very nice bottle. Not quite as good as the bottle six years ago, but still enjoyable.
  Fruit not quite as present as before (to be expected), but still reasonably well-balanced.
  Opened 2 hours in advance (which helped) and decanted to serve.
  
  Time to drink up in near future. No need to wait.

  September 4, 2020 - Fully developed, medium-bodied, soft, with more secondary notes of tobacco, cedar, cigar and earth and red fruits on the nose. Light and refined on the classic palate, which seems to be slowly starting its gentle fade. If you are hanging on to any bottles, I'd drink them over the next 3-5 years before the fruit continues its fade.

  March 18, 2019 - I have enjoyed this 6 bottle case over the last 6 months and had considered it good quaffing claret.
  Now that I have finished my last bottle, I think I have shown it a lack of respect. Whilst not La Mission it has given great pleasure. A real lightness of touch and plenty of black fruit juiciness despite its advanced years. Enjoyable.
