January 1, 2024 - Not showing well. Swampy nose. Some VA. Palate a touch better than nose throughout. Slightly improved over the night, but poor showing.

September 9, 2023 - My first bottle of L G713121, this was decanted one hour before dinner but needed three hours to really open up. I would highly recommend a three hour decant right now for this wine; we wasted several glasses because of the insufficuient air. Anyway, when open it's a fine wine indeed, relatively dark but with a medium-weight body, firm acidity, and subtle but firm tannins. It has a wonderful mix of sour cherry and sweet cherry, red fruits and darker fruits together, indicating the period of transition it is in, early middle age, still not in its peak drinking window. Drink to 2035. This transmits sikiness, smoothness and balance, and is the perfect savory dinner wine.

May 28, 2023 - Very dark in the glass, nose of dark berries. Brooding/serious. Far from leight weight. On the palate loads of sour cherries, plenty of accidic freshness and still a fine tannic pressure. Not tertiary yet. A very dark expression compared to other in Villas I had. Could it be the vintage or do they gain weight with bottle age?
