February 12, 2024 - Opened and decanted 30-min ahead of seared sesame beef and noodles. Dark purple-crimson color. Perfumed nose brings cherry blossoms, hot blueberry pie, chocolate cherries, grape menthol, and whiffs of spearmint and pipe tobacco. The palate is medium-full, round, and textured, bringing a rich core of blackberries, plums, and blackcurrant mixed with chocolate cherries and raspberries that flows into a savory finish of wild herbs, coffee, and dark chocolate. The finish is sweet and the tannins polished. Drink 2024-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

October 21, 2023 - Really hitting its straps now. Glorious cassis core rapped with cocoa and smoke. The fruit is thick and it finishes dry, structured, but with melting tannins. Very enjoyable.

October 1, 2023 - Sixth bottle from a full case purchased en primeur. Pristine condition, perfect level and cork. Opened two hours in advance. En pleine forme. Open and aromatic nose, peppery and spicy, red berries and cherries, hints of cream and beef stew; fresh and minerally, energetic palate, on the slender side, precise and transparent, crisp and with grippy tannins; relatively dry finish, hint of bell pepper, appetising but not expansive. Completely ready, drink now - 2030.

September 23, 2023 - Exuberant, sweet and ripe, the red fruits were intermingled with a sprinkling of black, enhanced by lively tannins and a sprinkling of spice. On the mid-palate it developed cream and added richness stayed in the mouth long after the final swallow. Absolutely delicious. CHP 93pts

September 21, 2023 - In memoriam Bordeaux tasting for Piet Kuiper (@ RvD): Beautiful bouquet with beautiful oak, menthol and dark berries. On the palate ripe dark berry fruits, chocolate, full bodied and ripe, beautiful acidity and subtle use of oak. Fresh acidity and soft tannin wilt a mild bite. Lush wine.
