  Superb Pauillac! A blend of 75% CS, 15% Merlot and 10% CF: Bell pepper, cherry, prune, tobacco leaf, cassis, cigar box, medium plus body, great long finish.

  10th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, in line with last bottle in April 22, good whack of fruit infused with mineral but just a little 4 square compared with Barton and Poyferre 99 on same night, possible upside given energy to fruit, 12+ years. VGI (17).

  Decent but a little boring tbh, not sure whether it was a poor bottle or on the decline. Tannins have mellowed, perhaps a bit too much, like there’s no grip at all. Short finish, fruit still present but minimal tertiary flavor development, a bit of graphite is all. Easy to drink but terrible qpr.

  Prime late drinking window I think. Don't see it improving - just evolving, but we're not quite at full blown mushroom yet.
