    September 8, 2022 - 1996 Dinner...Top Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux (Park Ridge Country Club): Ripe and opulent with black currant and cassis, all very big but also still very firm.

    December 14, 2021 - Nice dark earthy black fruits with lively lift. Chunky tannins. Good wine, but not mind blowing either.

    November 17, 2020 - Delicious! perfectly aged - very mellow with no bite. Notes of chocolate, licorice and black currant. Very flavorful still. Wish I had a few more of these to enjoy.

    September 14, 2020 - I was guessing the vintage - but also guessing Left Bank, this is how cool and vertical this is. Not your old chocolate boy, dignity here. From JesperH
