JKoenen nailed it in his 18/9/2023 note. Cork came out as if it had been bottled a year ago. Just wonderful with lots of stuffing and cherryfruit. Will go on for a few more years. Great without being too heavy.

2010 Château du Glana

2nd Bottle out of 6 bought in 2012. First one didn’t impress that much and I had higher hopes for a cru bourgeois level St. Julien. This one however presents itself much better after a few more years in the cellar. Nice blackcurrant flavors with a few unresolved tannins and fair acidity in a medium weight body. Drank on its own. Could use a year or two more of further cellaring in order to be a good companion to food. Will never be a superstar, but hey, what can you expect for a 20 euro médoc from 2010?

2001 Château Villars

First of six bottles bought at auction. As with the 2000 from the same château, this has rusticity written all over it though very different in style. Upon opening a bit muted nose with some lactic notes and the smell of canned cherries. Compared to the 2000 this has less stuffing but presents itself also a lot friendlier due to less harsh tannins. Still very palatable and friendly considering its age. Pnp and drunk on its own. Very well aged Cru bourgeois and absolutely nothing wrong with this, even attractive in an odd way…if you like old wines. This wine will fade gently in the next two decades or so.
