July 2, 2022 - From unknown provenance. Elegant, classic Bordeaux. Well balanced; nothing shouting at you. A wine to drink when you just want to unwind. Drink / hold. While price is ok, I was expecting more from a 2010 2nd growth.

July 2, 2022 - 中宝石红偏深，闻香有些烟熏质感，青椒，梅果和黑果香气，入口酸度中高，单宁紧致，有些抓人，颗粒细腻，酒风甜美，石墨，明显的青椒，醋栗，伴随着辛辣感，后段奶油烤面包，还有香草巧克力的味道。漂亮集中度，强壮而又年轻的表现。

July 1, 2022 - Consistent notes with last time. Gorgeous nose with lots of cedar and cigar box. Full fruit forward wine but with plenty of nuance to the blackberry fruit core. Very fine silky tannins and a nice backbone of acidity to keep the fruit in balance. This will certainly last another decade and more.

May 13, 2022 - Gorgeous nose with smoke and tar that leaps from the glass. Blackberry compote and wet earth. Nice spine of acidity. Light to medium body initially, gaining some weight with time in the glass. Silky smooth. Delicious.

March 19, 2022 - Fin näsa med fin balans mellan cassis, ceder, tobak och höstskog.
Smaken är lite sluten, och blygt men allt finns där för att kunna komma till sin rätt om ett antal år. 93 idag kanske mer senare
