Barsacpinci Does not like this wine:
January 21, 2023 - Very soft at first taste but developed sour and annoying ascetic flavors as it sat. We'll see what it is like tomorrow. I almost dumped it.

June 25, 2022 - Came out brownish, needed some decanting, come out fruity and leathery, not a long aftertaste though

February 16, 2022 - Enjoyed from a half bottle and this was still showing its youth. Woody notes were quite stong when it was first opened, but stated to recede after a couple of hours of air. There is plenty of ripe fruit and good acidity keeps it fresh. I will wait a few years before opening another bottle -- hoping that the oak notes will not stand out as much.

December 23, 2021 - Firing on all cyclinders. Beautiful complex and elegant nose - silky mouthfeel. Great expression of value Pomerol in the drinking window now.

October 17, 2021 - Great wine ready to drink now but will improve for many more years. Great balance of fruit and acidity
