  I would say this feels like it hasn't budged much since release, except that I actually did have it on release and it is much better now. Still with an evolved, tertiary profile but the fruit is redder and fuller so in that sense it actually feels fresher than it did on release. It's a comfort wine, like sinking into your favorite easy chair. Suave, rounded, and near-weightless.

  2nd to last of a case. I have loved the previous 10 bottles. This one felt very tired but Isuspect it was an off bottle. My previous bottle in 2020 was delicious.

  Enjoyed over two days. Youthful notes of oak faded into fruitcake and leather. Overall this is a wine about balance, complexity, and class. Definitely more evolved than my last bottle, but plenty of life ahead for this one.

  Maison Mythique...for sure.
  Nez sur le tabac et les cigares avec des fruits rouges.
  En bouche, le boisé se fait encore présent mais pas trop, chocolat
  et épices avec des tanins assez fins, belle souplesse et
  finale longue. Bien aimé mais a encore un beau potentiel.

  All is right when LdH is on. Beautiful, soft cherry notes emanating from an old oak box.
