Monday, August 8, 2022 - Same bottle accessed by Coravin in May. Drank over two days, alongside the same vintage Capbern.
Not quite a slab-sided beast, but certainly a non-charming behemoth. Heavy extraction and oak treatment, followed by noticeable alcohol. Generally placeless. It should evolve for a few years, but I do not expect improvement.

It was always completely underwhelming and left a bad impression on me. He brought different vintages each time and not one of them was good. As a resultai always avoided this Chateau.
