March 3, 2024 - Classic profile maturing nicely with secondary characteristics and velvety tannins. Tasted in Business Class Lounge, Dubai Airport so sadly glasswear wasn't very good.

February 20, 2024 - Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): In the bouquet still youthful and lactic impressions, blackberries, beautiful oak and cedar. On the palate round red and dark berries, beautiful acidity and round, melting tannin, great length. A pleasure now with enough air time, but will improve with 4+ years of cellaring. 92+

February 10, 2024 - Ikke dekantert. Stadig meget pen, både dag 1 og dag 2. Har sansen for disse krema vinene.

February 8, 2024 - Emirates flight. Beautiful classic Pauillac with layered dark fruit, a touch of graphite and horse stable / leather notes. Good freshness given the cooler vintage. Great with food and on its own

November 23, 2023 - Standard Pauillac aromatics and palate of blackberry and graphite, the palate is slightly loose-knit and drying. A mid-level wine.
