  April 14, 2024 - Is it day 3 already?
  
  Black garnet and clear. Showing just a bit of age. Slow legs.
  
  Ripe traditional Bordeaux fruit, leather, tar, licorice, earth, and vanilla. The nose is integrated, so it took me some time to pick out the individual components.
  
  The palate perfectly confirms nose adding mint and graphite. Tannins are soft and balanced. Elegant, integrated, and delicious after two daya. This could bode well for a little more patience.
  
  Finish is beautiful and still sticking around as I type this...

  March 17, 2024 - Decanted for 3 hours. Very approachable at this stage, but still quite primary. The tannins have softened but are still prominent. Dark berries, spice, graphite and a hint of mushroom.
  
  Deep ruby colour.
  
  Pronounced aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg, licorice, graphite, cedar, tobacco, mint, lavender, a hint of mushroom.
  
  Pronounced palate.
  
  Medium (+) body, high acidity, high tannin, long finish.

  February 26, 2024 - 93- drank over few days with Coravin. Drinking Beautiful- floral feminine nose with red cherry. Amazing value and clean integrated smooth refined finish! Can definitely improve and has plenty of lasting power.

  February 20, 2024 - Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): Uncorked the day before the tasting and double decanted approx. 3 hours prior to the tasting. Dark berries, beautifully dosed oak, graphite and some lactic impressions in the bouquet. On the palate very juicy dark berries, some red berries as well, some tobacco, beautiful acidity and tannin with still a good bite. Beautiful and elegant wine in its young maturity stage now. Will be lovely over at least the next 6 – 8 years. 92 – 93
