  August 8, 2023 - Not sure. Drank without decanting. It had an acerbic/metallic tinge when drinking without food. With food didn't notice. Dark, some aroma of cassis.
  
  Really need to decant properly and then give it a try.

  October 11, 2022 - Nose: smokey with nice, quite pure fruit and cigarbox. In the taste again pure fruit (black-berry and cherry) and a smoky and ready mature note. Still some drying, but soft tannins. Over three days getting better: more fruit and softer tannins. But tannins, fruit, acidity and alcohol still are not integrated yet. Last time, one year ago, I thought that maybe with one more year of keeping would be enough for this wine to shine the way I expected in 2013, but I guess now that it needs at least one and a half year more. For now 88-89, potentially 90.

  October 25, 2021 - Color: very dark purple-ruby. Nose: fine sous-bois, black berry, and maybe also black cherry and clove. Taste: at the first day mature notes were a bit more prominent than fruit. Also a bit flat and maybe a bit tired. But better at the second day, despite some drying tannins that still were there. With food on the second day 89-90.

  July 20, 2021 - This is the last one in my cellar, great value for the price point. It is well balance the tannins are mild and ready to drink. I would not keep this much longer or it may turn into salads dressing. Overall medium to full bodied with good fruit, classic Bordeaux taste.

  February 15, 2021 - Lovely wine. Tannins Moderate + present but integrating nicely. Fruit dissipating slightly and moving more toward prune/plum flavours. Very enjoyable.
