April 11, 2024 - This cork was soft and wet to within a couple of millimeters of the capsule. Yet it was intact and the wine was magnificent. This wine may need--and will permit--many more years of cellaring to reach full potential, but it showed magnificently tonight, of the present and future. The bouquet alone was myriad: taut cabernet, sour pine smoke, lard. The bouquet has years of maturity ahead. The plate is perfectly balanced but a bit dry and a bit rough. Whether or not this could attain the glycerous smoothness of a top growth remains to be seen. But it is a wonderful expression of a classic Bordeaux. Excellent terroir married to an iconoclastic proprietor.

January 18, 2024 - Nez sur les épices au départ. Évolue vers des notes de terre, ferme. En bouche puissant, ample. Tanins encore bien présents mais aucunement agressif. Le vin s assouplit au fil de temps. Final sur le cuir. Longueur moyenne. Bien agreable

November 27, 2023 - Ein jetzt schon sehr schöner, klassischer Linksufer-Bdx. Bereits schön gereift, aber braucht noch 5 Jahre bis zum Genuss-Höhepunkt. In der Nase sehr viel gereifter als auf der Zunge. Am Gaumen süßes Holz, Cassis, Graphit, das Tannin gibt einwenig Struktur, im Abgang eine freundliche, aber nicht übermäßige Médoc-Würze. Am 1. Abend ein deutlich wässeriges Gefühl, am 2. Abend – also mit mehr Luft – entwickelt sich eine tolle Dichte, die in den nächsten Jahren sicher noch einwenig zunehmen wird. 90-91 Pkte
