Still drinking well. Pretty, soft, ripe cabernet with juicy fruit and medium length with just a touch of fine-grained ripe tannin showing on the finish. Great with our pasta dinner.

Seven years in the box. My first bottle of this. Black cherry, tar, leather, prunes. Very soft and polished, this wine has a tremendous elegance. Multi-layered and quite complex. Showing its age but still holding.

Outstanding (still). While recent reviews have suggested that this wine has peaked (I said so myself back in 2018) most also said it can stay at this level for quite a while longer, and I agree! Smooth, rich, deep, nuanced, balanced, with a creamy velvety long finish. Just wonderful. And being as it was a garagiste "mystery wine" some 6 years ago (cheap cheap cheap) it's PQR is pretty high!

A bit over the hill. Fruit was a bit muted and structure a bit soft.
