  February 19, 2024 - Mid / upper-shoulder fill. Capsule in tact and cork in sound condition. Shared by a generous friend / merchant.
  
  Flabergastingly youthful on both the nose and the palate. Complete package of everything that one could ask for aged claret. Thie youthfulness of this wine resembled many 2000s, but with all the benefits of additional maturity. Simply stunning.

  January 13, 2024 - The best bottle of this I am ever going to taste was off the charts from the moment it hit the glass, An incredible array of earthy scents with dark chocolate, truffle, cigar box, fig, leafy herbs, dried cherries, dried red plums, and old flowers resonated in the nose. The palate was even better with its concentration, salty rocks, dried berries, cherries, cocoa powder, and plums. Intense, palate-filling, long, silky, lush, and complex, the finish continued long after the wine went where it was intended to go. Provenace was the name of the game here. Drink from 2024-2035.

  May 23, 2021 - Tasted blind, this wine had a very deep red/purple center with orange rims. The high- intensity nose put forth black cherry, tan spices, mocha, and some roasted Provencal herb.
  
  In the mouth, This wine was medium bodied with lovely richness, very fine-grained tannin, and superb length. It was creamy, lush, and silky but was had an awesome flavor impact.
  
  This beauty is ready now but should continue to perform at this level for 20+ years.

  May 3, 2019 - Took a while to find another great one, but this bottle was fantastic. Smooth fruit, varied soil tones, soft spices and residual wood notes. Silky palate and long finish. 97-98
