  February 18, 2024 - Still enjoyable BDX with very present notes or dark fruits and some herbs and a hint of tabacco. Delivers all (or just bit more) You can expect from that quality level after 15 years. Should be good for a few more years.

  November 7, 2023 - 2009, I had this bottle in my cellar since 2012. I wasn’t sure what to expect but wow what a great wine for a reasonable price. Visually no signs of aging, nice nose of raspberry smoke and black pepper. Fruit is still very much present. Balanced acidity polished tannins and a medium to long aftertaste.

  June 10, 2023 - Agree with TN from Purple Tooth. Lots of stewed fruit, a bit syripy, quite evolved, big wine.

  April 15, 2023 - High extraction and big fruit for haut medoc. Not the elegant and mild mannered table wine that I was expecting. Stewed, ripe red fruit with lots of sediment, shows notes of coffee and scorched earth as it warms in the glass. A little hot…I took this all wrong and might give it a point more with a rich, fatty meal. Reminds me of something from fronsac, like ville cure….this should actually age well! Drink or hold

  March 5, 2023 - Splash decanted. Dark crimson color. Alarmed at whiff of port initially, but blew off after 30 minutes or so. Black plum, red berries and cedar box on the nose. Sweet plum and red berries, cedar and sweet tobacco on the palate. Full flavored and broad across the palate. Tannins nicely resolved but still a pleasant grip on the palate and finish. Even better on Day 2 with more depth and layers of fruit and texture. Drinking really well at the moment, but probably not much more left here - drink up! Au revoir Vincent. Gone too soon.
