December 29, 2023 - Magnificent. Double magnum served with cassoiulet and 10 friends. Wine opened easily and the fruit aroma from the cork coming out told me the wine was in cracking good shape. The first sip revealed the irony taste of pigeon blood and the body felt thin, good but muted. Over the hill or going over the hill thought I. After an hour's air standing, the wine fully resolved and blossomed into a symphony of blackberry playing with leather. Full, round tannins. Excellent wine.
Bought on release and kept in tem-control. -

October 23, 2023 - Removed the capsule to find a slightly damp cork. Was nervous 😬 at that point. Opened with a Durand and found the wine in the bottle was magnificent. Great bottle with tremendous balance, slightly dry in style, but a beautiful balance of acid and fruit. Bordeaux like characteristics in taste. A great wine and glad I have one more bottle to enjoy.

January 27, 2023 - Still fresh, very little signs of aging other than the rounding out of the tannins. Bought this on release - feeling good about storage conditions in my cellar!
