  March 29, 2024 - Second of twelve from an OWC purchased at retail. Accessed via Coravin. Not much development, like my previous example, but very solid and held its own against the 2004 Pichon Lalande Coravined alongside. Showing slightly austere red fruits and leather to the PL’s very pure blackberry. Less refined than the PL and definitely less concentrated, as one would expect, but ultimately, this was the more even and complete wine. There’s the vintage for you. 14% ABV (very good/***/16/91)

  March 12, 2024 - First of twelve from an OWC. Accessed by Coravin. Showing much younger than my last bottle, which was a single retail purchase. Black over red fruits, copious but dusty tannins. Very masculine and rough and tumble, with good structure, good concentration, and a very even, balanced, juicy palate. Very Potensac. Just needs some development and softness to score higher. 14% ABV (very good/***/16/91)

  February 25, 2024 - Opened for a dinner party and enjoyed over a very short period of time. Decanted about 20 minutes, but really needed a few hours. Have more bottles and will be more patient.

  January 12, 2024 - Deep dark fruit inky nose. Bright berry, concentrated. Solid but did fade over the evening and eventually came across clunkier than its big bros Clos du Marquis and LLC itself. Still a well made wine. 90

  November 28, 2023 - This is my third and last bottle review. It surprises me a bit how this wine has held up over the years. It's still youthful and rock solid in a unoaked way. Has a long way to go.
