  In memoriam Bordeaux tasting for Piet Kuiper (@ RvD): Mature bouquet with autumn forest, tobacco and leather. On the palate juicy red berries, autumn forest, a touch of sweetness, fresh acidity and round, creamy tannin. Elegant wine.

  Mature with ceder, oak and dark fruit. Added on the palate: earthy flavours, roots and then some black currant. Balanced with tannins like medium grained sandpaper. Good length. Very much bx.

  Fifth of six. Bottle opened six hours before lunch. Without decanting, I only filtered the last third when presenting abundant fine-grained sediments. Cork in perfect condition, this time without crystals. Deep black colour with transparent rims. Fleshy notes of graphite or pencil shavings plus black berries and cherries. Also detected camphor and some asphalt. Clearly a male wine. On the palate stands out for a cleansing acidity, a soft texture, almost watery and unfortunately for a low persistence. Aftertaste of wilted violets. Better than the initial bottles but less round than the last one a year and a half ago. Last one for next 2024 or so.
  
  Quinta de seis. Botella abierta seis horas antes del almuerzo. Sin decantar, solo filtré el ultimo tercio al presentar abundantes sedimentos de grano fino. Corcho en perfecto estado, esta vez sin pegotes. Color negro profundo con ribetes transparentes. Notas carnosas a grafito o virutas de lápiz con bayas negras y guindas. También detectó alcanfor y algo de asfalto. Claramente masculino. Al paladar destaca por una limpiadora acidez, una textura suave, casi acuosa y lamentablemente por una escasa persistencia. Retrogusto a violetas marchitas. Mejor que las botellas iniciales pero menos redonda que la última de hace un año y medio. La última para el 2024.

  This was delicious. Dark red. Opened up nicely after half an hour. Berry notes and raisin, giving way to notes of vanilla and chalk. Drank with Anders and Mayu with wagyu. Had a bit of an accident with the cork but salvaged it!

  Medium red with brownish edge. Developed to mature, medium intensity nose. Vanilla, blackcurrant, leaves, a touch of leather. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(+) grainy tannins, medium(+) body. Well balanced. Dark, discreet blackcurrant, plums, ceder, oak. Some complexity. Typical bx feeling.
  
  50% Cabernet sauvignon, 40 % Merlot, 10% Petit verdot and Cabernet Franc
