February 26, 2023 - Wow, very nice aged Bordeaux. Years ago, bought a case of the ‘87, as it was affordable, I think ‘87 was a ‘lesser’ vintage. Cork broke, opened the wine an hour before dinner. So this is what made Cabernet Sauvignon Bordeaux world famous. Too bad I couldn’t afford cases every year since! Absolutely lovely wine, Yum! And only 12% VOL.

January 21, 2023 - Still in great shape and perfectly drinkable. Cabernet and pencil lead are forefront. Nice balance with more finesse than strength.

January 19, 2023 - Eupsychian Atariaxia. Which basically means calming yourself towards a higher mind. Aged Boysenberry,, concorde, barnyard. Started out funky. 2 hours in the decanted fixed that. Overall we loved it. It was a magnum and we had a great steak dinner with it!

April 23, 2022 - Fully mature. Was not expecting much but I did thoroughly enjoy this with a selection of roasts - duck, chicken, lamb. Was completely resolved and was singing all tertiary characteristics. Black fruit, tobacco, sous bois.
