  April 17, 2024 - Only short notes. At the first day with food mature notes in the taste, even already a bit tired. A bit more complexity than in 2022. At the fourt day ramarkably different: more lively, more fruit, rather domninant and a bit burning alcohol. More four-square. What to hink of this wine? 88-89.

  March 30, 2024 - Bouteille sur son plateau mais qui peut-être attendue encore 5 ans sans problème (voir plus), cela certainement corrélé avec son assemblage de 72% de Cabernet Sauvignon et 28 % Merlot.
  Arômes de boite à cigares, tanins nobles, belle allonge… que du plaisir !

  November 15, 2023 - From 375ml btl. Nicely evolving as it moves along its maturity plateau. Robust and spicy bouquet that belongs to a smarter label. Tannins have blended in nicely. Just a touch of alcohol on the finish. I have a dozen halves left; no hurry to enjoy them.

  October 19, 2023 - A St Estephe that is drinking nicely at the moment. It shows perhaps a touch of alcohol or overripeness on the palate, but this is more in comparison to the classic Bordeaux years of old, and people accustomed to new world wines should not have a problem with this. Black olives, graphite, cassis flavours, and some cheeky midbodied tannins still remain. Really enjoyed this, especially for its price.

  September 2, 2023 - Wine with confit de canard part two and after last week’s disappointment with Burgundy, this worked much much better. Classic nose and palate for the appellation with dry cedar, graphite and tar. Only a modicum of black fruit but sufficient and matched the duck really well. Some browning on the edge but still well within its drinking plateau. By no means a fruitbomb being sightly dusty but represents a “classic” vintage.
