May 5, 2024 - 1st of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - dark, slightly mat but translucent ruby, notably leggy, little rim development; cherry and plum, some chocolate and spice, really nicely layered for right bank; fullish, long, vv persistent and concentrated with volume of top vintage, even expands in mouth, silky, grippy, quite complex and with admirable relaxed expression of fruit, upside here, 15+ years. F+ (18)......broached this case after previous night's VCC for a compare and contrast, the May is further along its evolution and pro tem a much nicer drink but in 15 years I suspect VCC will have edge when it starts unfurling.

November 1, 2023 - Fort beau pomerol a maturite. Au debut, ça semblait vieux, puis apres 1-2 heures le tout s’est place et le fruit est reapparu. Sur son plateau

June 24, 2023 - Black fruit into a big savory character, the tannins were very soft and this had a lot going on. First try at an aged Pomerol and this has me interested in more.

June 16, 2023 - PNP tight, dry, crisp. After aeration into the decanter (very little sediment) things softened up revealing a wonderfully expressive nose of blueberry, light smoke/wood eucalyptus and menthol all matching on the palate. Throughly enjoyable!

March 26, 2023 - Continuing to develop, this wine has lovely texture and balance. It will not overpower and can be druck now. However, I expect it will pick up at least a point with 5+ years in the cellar.
