April 22, 2024 - Was hoping for better. The fruit was not bright, tannins not silky smooth. Finish was rather astringent with a prune edge. At 15 years, I truly doubt this wine has more to show. If it were blossoming, I would see hints by now. I have another bottle so here is hoping to bottle variation. Disappointing St Emillion. I detected no merlot in this wine although obviously it is there. Stored in a stand alone cellar since arrival.

February 7, 2024 - 7 months later and this is much more ready. Really a proper claret with all the gentleness and finesse of SE.

February 3, 2024 - Another really nice bottle of this. This bottle seems almost peak-drinking, but it will not fall off the table any time soon. Open, radiant and giving, slightly richer style, but really works nicely here. I would probably drink this over the next 5-10 years or so.

November 23, 2023 - Just lovely. Had with friends. Decanted one hour before first pour. Everything you want: great nose, interesting darkish fruit, lovely medium to fine grained tannins, and a delightful finish. Will last a couple more years but glad we opened this one.
