March 31, 2024 - Simple decant.
Elegant, but not memorable.
Subtle fruit, old leather, easing tannins.
Certainly in the window if not past slightly.
Drink now thru 2026/8 -

April 28, 2022 - During a 2002 vs. 2012 tasting. This did not really shine tonight. Right after opening it was tight and tannic. We decanted it and gave it 2h. Improved a little from there but stayed rather uneventful. Lovely CabFranc nose with dark fruit and earthy elements but not "First Growth ooph". I guess the sub-par 2002 vintage cannot hide here...
