December 11, 2023 - Great, great vintage
Great AOC
Very good producer. No surprise, that this wine is simply so delicious. 2 hours in the decanter, it could be 3, because acidity is still so vivid and fresh.
Sweet aromas of plum, black cherry, dark chocolate, but on the other hand red cherry, forest, flowers, vanilla ( so good).
The taste is bright, fresh, and energetic. Ripe red cherry and red currant, sweet spice, herbs, milk chocolate and vanilla again. Long finish with perfect tannins, spice, red fruits. Balance and harmony.
Third glass - coffee and cocoa both in smell and taste! Dust and grainy tannins.
Earth.
Unbelievable transformation!

July 22, 2023 - Notes made after 3hrs
Dark only colour. Graphite nose. Small berries and raisins on the palate. Noticeably acidity and still some tannins. Good long finish but not sure this has the fruit to balance it out for the long haul. -

July 8, 2023 - Bert's pension party part 2; Bordeaux (@ BV): The first thing to notice is that this wine is fully mature and needs to be drunk now (or next year). So a confirmation of my previous notes. Creamy bouquet with vanilla and other sweet spices, beautiful oak and the same on the palate. Red berries, round and creamy, some pleasant stable impressions, very juicy and a good length.
