  No change from my last note. The wine was astringent with a burnt rubber taste and a thin astringent finish. Bottle was not drinkable. Happy to be done with this wine/this vintage.

  Starting to show a mature profile but still with life in it. Beautiful red and dark fruit still present but showing the mature autumn profile

  Last two bottles have been undrinkable. Not corked, just tart, thin and dominated by pitch and tar smell and diesel fuel flavors.

  I agree with recent reviews that this wine is just about past it’s awkward mid-teen state and is on the right path to full maturity. On opening there was some sneaker-shoe rubber smell and a little green twang. It was then decanted for 3 hours in a 3.0L ships decanter. The color is medium garnet working its way to light without any bricking or browning at the rim. The nose was a tad shy but spoke to vanilla, strawberrys and cream. The initial impression in the mouth was juicy but somewhat underripe blackberries (like, if we leave them for a few days they will sweeten, but who can resist the juicyness). subtly tart raspberries and a hint of citrus followed by sticks and dried leaves, light vanilla and cream. Finish is smooth and “floaty”.
  
  It will be interesting to try this wine again in 2024 - 2026. I am not sure what it will become, but it will not be unpleasant.

  Beautiful and mature, classical Bordeaux bouquet with vanilla and dark as well as red berries. Same on the palate, autumn impressions, a bit rustic, well dosed oak, good acidity and still somewhat sticky tannin.
