February 28, 2024 - Two years since last tasted, and this is now firmly in its drinking window. Although it is not one of the greatest years for the estate, it is typically Pomerol and a decent wine. The nose is a fuit bomb with ripe strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry aromas, and is deeply seductive. However, the palate and the finish don't match the initial impression, and are a little raw and lacking real depth. A couple hours of decanting is beneficial.

August 8, 2023 - really nice claret with an hour of air. no signs of decline but seems to have matured. 3rd bottle. a heavy wine. goes deep and long.

November 6, 2022 - Slightly disappointing. Very good but red fruits are fading. Red currant with tannin, but lacks fruit intensity. Medium finish. IMHO, at twenty-one years, recommend drinking sooner rather than later.

June 15, 2022 - In peak drinking window. Smooth, medium depth, paired with cheese course. Three of the five cheeses were great. Did not work with Triple Creme or Roquefort. Great with Comte and Morbier and Iberico. Drink now-2025.
