  July 22, 2018 - Beautiful ruby red with red brim. Lovely nose with lots of mature dark fruit and notes of black currants, plums, leather, tobacco and underbrush. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with nice, mature dark fruit, fully integrated tannins and notes of leather and tobacco. This will not get any better than it is today, and it should probably be drunk within the next couple of years.

  May 17, 2015 - Impeccable bottle, impeccable fill; only slightly light at the edges. The nose is classic graphite, chocolate, the style is dry, yet bold and balanced. Decent length. A classy wine – and for a second wine in a weak vintage, quite outstanding. Mature, though still plenty of primary fruit.

  June 1, 2012 - Dinner at Cafe de HK (Cafe de HK, Balestier Road): Good stuff. Not quite as impressive as the last bottle I had, but this was still probably the best of the three Bordeaux blends that we had on the night. Quite an achievement for a second-wine from a weaker vintage. A few of us guessed it as a 1994 left-bank, but none of us could really figure which house it came from given its qualities. Indeed, it had a classic left-bank nose, with wafts of tobacco and cigar smoke, cassis and tea leaves. This palate was marked by fine tannins, still quite firm here, and clean acidity that led into light-footed cassis flavours that had a nice, fresh purity to them. There was a good, firm sense of structure at the finish along with a lick of tobacco, cigar and spice. This was at a very nice place now. It lacks some the strength and presence you would expect of a Las Cases, or indeed of some of the top 1994s, but this was a real pleasure to drink. A step-up in class if not in sheer quality from the previous two Bordeaux blends.
