  Really nice right now but coming over the top of its peak and entering it's decline. Savory, well-balanced, but almost all secondary and tertiary at this point. Really happy to open it at this stage in its development but I doubt it'll improve to my palate.

  I really like this wine. It’s my primary cellar defender. Soft, mature, dusty, and savory. Some bottles taste older than others, so I think it’s making the turn. Drink now.

  This came across as young and tight. It started to soften after an hour or so but probably would have been better with a good decant.

  Rather nose and taste were much more open than my last bottle in July 2022, with nice fruit and mature notes. Rather full and round, but despite the amount of deposit still with some unresolved tannins. Showing the quality of Medoc 2009. Maybe still a bit better at the third day, less good at the fifth. Clearly the best bottle so far. To keep my last one for one year more. First three days 88-89.
