February 22, 2024 - Bottle in perfect condition; filled into the neck, cork intact. Translucent medium brick colour. Red fruit, dried dark fruit, prune, cedar, leather, tobacco, sous-bois/ earth and mushroom, graphite, spices, and cinnamon, with medium-level acidity, fully resolved tannin, and very good length. Some old-age sweetness, and umami notes. Smoothly textured and well balanced, with great concentration and good complexity. In great shape! A very satisfying, mature Bordeaux that is drinking very well. Well-kept bottles will stay at this level for a few more years, but since the wine is in a perfect place with no upside, I suggest drinking it now. Enjoy!
