  December 14, 2023 - From a magnum, decanted for 45 mins
  Gorgeous nose, sous bois and barnyard, classic Margaux florals
  Candied cherry, blackberry, mushroomy earth
  Tannins emerged after 1 hour, still soft and rich
  Sanguine tang, lingering medium long finish
  In great place now, will hold for a few more years, but why wait?

  June 17, 2023 - Dark red, cork in perfect condition. Immediately fragrant, sweet red fruits wafting out of the glass from the first pour. This has more life in it than the age might suggest, with the fruit persisting quite condfidently into the mid palate before being overtaken by tertiary elements like leather and dusty old school desks. Oh how I love old claret, seemingly no other wine can do this in quite the same way. The finish is on the short side, and if there is any other criticism it is that the wine is slightly on the thin side, but altogether this is a solid package given the age and there is even a nice little lick of tannin at the end as well. On this showing I think you could happily leave this for a bit; if by some miracle you have a few there is no immediate hurry. Not decanted, but in any event not much sediment. Another success for the Wine Society "old" mystery case - 3/3.

  June 10, 2023 - Stored in a cold cellar since release. Fill just under cork. Cork broke. Wine in good condition. Bouquet of black fruit. Full bodied good concentration but rather foursquare lacking Margaux finesse. Holding well with no hurry to drink but no point to keep.

  December 25, 2022 - Christmas Day 2022 (My place, Kent Street): Popped and poured. Starts off a little muted (unsurprisingly) but opens to show fresh Autumn berry fruits, a smidge of rhubarb, persistent drying tannins that play very nicely with the lamb rack, a little gamey and umami underpin. Great match, great food wine.

  March 13, 2022 - Supper matches (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas....with agitation starts to show slightly gamey, meaty notes, sweet spice, cedar, leather, black hued fruits - a little bramble and plum, forest floor. Juicy, tangy, the fruit is beginning to dry out very slightly , tannins are persistent, moderately drying, all travel long with a little beetroot note on the the finish. Okay.
