    C'est vraiment grand et ce n'est pas fini ! Il a un boulevard d'évolution devant lui.

    December 30, 2023 - Tasted over two days, alongside the same vintage d'Armailhac and Pontet-Canet. Opened, sampled blind, called it, then left to slow-o for a few hours.

    First impression? Excessive oak. Impression throughout the first day? Defiled by oak. So much lumber, particularly compared to the other offerings, that all attempts to evaluate the fruit and terroir imparted substance proved frustrating. Also noteworthy: Did not know the assemblage...and still do not...but this showed the most red fruits of the three.

    The wine took an interesting turn by the second day. The oak had integrated somewhat, which imparted a certain creamy, textural weight. In this way, it proved an intriguing teaser for the Pontet-Canet.

    At the time of this note, this wine had a CT score of 93.3. The d'Armailhac, at the same time, had a CT score of 91.7. Indeed, I scored this a grudging 94 points, based on its second-day presentation. Qualitatively, given the wine's modernity (timber), the delta makes some since. Quantitatively, i.e., traditional, terroir-driven, rustic substance, the delta is, frankly, laughable.

    Why corrupt high-quality Left Bank fruit to such an extent that creamy, textural weight becomes a wine's calling card? Presumably, money. C'est la vie!

    This bottle had about a decade of evolution ahead. Wines in this style, however, above average extraction and heavily oaked, tend to throw a lot sediment and turn boring after a certain point. Equal chances that this wine will do so, before or by 2032-2035.

    November 24, 2023 - Excellent, still youth, still primary notes with dark red and black berries. Tertiary notes more subtle.

    October 21, 2023 - Tasting lunch. Double decant and it needed it. Lots of dark fruit, cake, spices, earthy element. Best after 2028, will be challenging much more expensive left bankers then.
