  February 23, 2024 - What a delight! Lovely even immediately after opening, with blackberries, cherries, leather, and a distinct floral note, followed by a rich and exceptionally long aftertaste. In the course of the next 40 minutes or so, the cherries become more prominent, the leather slides into tobacco, and the floral note becomes fennel. Gradually, over the next
  hour, the richness fades from the aftertaste and is replaced by a quiet elegance, building to a note of intense fruitcake spices. I'd expect this to continue to be a very great pleasure for at least 3 more years, probably longer. [Tasted over more than two hours from the Jancis Robinson glass. The score reflects the wine at about the 40 minute point and after. I gave this bottle two weeks upright for the sediment to settle out.] (Previously tasted 11/16/2019 and 6/19/2021.)

  December 12, 2023 - Garnet color with light brown edge: persistent metallic nose from opening to 2 hrs later, more iron than steely; cranberry and under ripe plum and berry notes developed later; tannic and astringent mid palate; riper berry fruit on the finish but little signs of this wine having a enjoyable old age

  November 17, 2023 - Troplong Mondot: 1959-2012 (Stockholm, Sweden): Semi-blind (knew which 17 vintages that were being served).
  
  Dark colour.
  Oxidised, medicinal and muted aroma palette.
  Sits beautifully in the mouth. Great tannic structure. Drifts towards tawny port (without the sweetness). Tastes like a warm vintage. Absolutely lovely!
  
  My guess: 1989 and my flight-winner.
  Pleasures from the weakest vintage to ever stir the Bdx lovers (after '91, '92 and '93 almost anything would have been chalked up as classic and amazing)!
  Wow!

  February 15, 2023 - Badly tainted cork. Poured it, with appropriate lamentations, down the sink.
