March 8, 2024 - The wine was still too young in 2024. The very dense texture of the wine is characterised by fine cassis, berries, nougat and cherries as well as fully ripe peppers. The long and complex finish is pleasantly fresh with present but very fine tannins. Probably at its peak in 10-15 years.

February 1, 2024 - Ready to drink, but not ready to shine at this moment! Dark, opaque colour! Gorgeous nose of sweet, ripe, caramel black fruits. Intoxicated aromas! Dense and young on the palate, I think it needs some years of cellaring!

November 24, 2023 - Tobacco, graphite, and darker fruit readily apparent on the nose. Definitely connected to Graves. Nicely in its secondary phase but still a bit tight upon opening. Needed about 30-45 minutes in the decanter and then continued to evolve quickly. Cassis and blackberries with a hint of bacon on the palate. Well put together. Nicely evolving and has at least a decade or 2.

September 26, 2023 - Wonderfully evolved, coffee, mocha and leather to it. Lively and fresh still, very good tension. Just opened. Smooth, fresh, and just super drinkable. Damn, as it opens it just get better and better.
