September 20, 2021 - Wonderful. Years to go. Very good structure - not all over the place - as good Merlot should be. Sweetish long aftertaste, with still enough acidity. Just perfect

June 14, 2020 - Aged merlot as it should be. Well integrated and nowhere near to fading, this has a fantastic nose of red and black berries, followed by a soft, but very pronounced cherry-tobacco palate. Really a winner.

June 3, 2018 - From magnum with rack of lamb.
Label says 100% Merlot. Dark inky almost black color, classic nose of earth and black fruit, this was surprisingly good, maybe I have been too influenced by the "burnt" reputation of the vintage, I thought for sure it would be stewy, but this was complex and very classy with good fruit, earthy, sound structure and a long finish. -

December 10, 2017 - Much improved over 2012. Super concentrated Merlot, almost too concentrated. Still not fully balanced. But very attractive nose. Palate gets flashed with very intense red fruits. Very nice to drink now. Without the over-concentration a 100 points candidate that leaves most great pomerols aside.
