  This is really well made. Mellowed out from a few years ago. Best with red meat but day two it was drinkable on its own no issues.

  Beautiful nose of creme de cassis, black currants, new French oak, vanilla and charred wood. Medium-full bodied, this is round but with still slightly unresolved tannin on the palate. Loaded with black currants, blackberry, oak, mint and sweet black cherries. Just delicious, this doesn't seem quite as extraordinary as it has in the past. This has reach full maturity, but I expect it to have a long plateau at this level. 93

  Right after opening the bottle still quite closed and wood too dominant. Opens up nicely on second day with strong cherry flavours in nose which continue on palate. Complex, heavy. Drink now or keep.

  Beautiful, Bordeaux-esque nose of ripe black currant, creosote, new French oak and mint. Medium-full bodied and delicious! This is still quite tannic with good acid cut as well. Black currant, cranberry, vanilla oak and blackberries on the palate. This needs more generosity and richness of fruit to reach the next level. That said, it is EXCELLENT at the table with enough power to cut through a Bistec Fiorentina! I'd opt for giving it another year or two before opening another bottle. Drink now-2030 93
