  July 2, 2023 - Needed an hour in the decanter then exceptional. Probably won't improve, but no rush.

  August 15, 2009 - Saturday Night Soiree (Chez Pelz): 90?? Tasted double blind; Dark ruby color with slight brown rim; The nose was a bit funky and slightly musty but the palate had nice rich fruit, earth (like a forest floor) with medium intensity. This wine was strong over the course of the evening. A good but not blockbuster wine that was up there in my top wines of the evening.

  November 22, 2008 - Had this last night with some cheeses. Purchased on auction from Winebid and this bottle was in amazing shape. Cork soaked all the way through and moldy on top, but the wine was in pristine shape (low neck fill). Actually seemed youthful still and gained depth of color and intensity with time in the glass. Showed what I associate with old school aged St. Emilions...truffle, earth, wet autumn leaves, nice dark fruit. Just a lovely wine that I believe will hold many more years.
