  February 25, 2023 - Benefited materially from 2+ hours of decanting. Classic Bordeaux richness + pine/eucalyptus notes.

  February 15, 2023 - Every time I drink Bordeaux, I post something on CT like: “Every time I drink Bordeaux, I think it’s the world’s greatest wine.”
  
  This is not great Bordeaux. I find it a bit over-oaked, and it has some cooked green bean notes that taste a bit off. But it’s still very good wine.
  
  This wine is remarkably concentrated, and it displays that perfect Bordeaux blend of cassis and eucalyptus (or whatever you want to call pyrazines of this ripeness level). I taste lots of intriguing BBQ flavors as well.

  February 4, 2023 - First bottle of a case. Ready to drink. Not too complex, but nicely balanced with a pleasant after taste of loam and dark fruit. On par with 2010 Gloria. Good wine to bring as a host gift or to break out with grilled steaks, burgers, or pizza. I would say it is worth buying as a cellar defender to get yourself to keep your hands off the expensive 2010’s you been so patient with.
  
  I vacusealed and put in the fridge for about two weeks and finished tonight. It was quite a bit better than day one. Suggests a decant before next bottle.

  December 5, 2022 - This is just entering its drinking window. For a wine with 12 years age it has plenty of black and red fruit with chalky minerals and medium tannins. The finish is a bit short but there is still so much going on that this wine merits a high score. No hurry to drink- this easily has 10 more years of life.

  December 3, 2022 - Surprisingly approachable upon opening.
  I expected a little bit of reticence and a long decant but this showed chocolate and coffee on the nose and palate straight away.
  
  It did benefit from a few hours in the decanter though and reached a version of its true self after about three hours.
  
  This wine is inky deep in colour and there is an undertow of a plum fruit throughout.
  
  Lacks a bit of freshness but has plenty of rich espresso, Bournville notes.
  
  It's not overly complex and will improve over the next 10 years for sure, but it's definitely worth opening a bottle right now.
