  August 24, 2022 - Opened up over an hour. Had at bazaar restaurant in Luxembourg for team dinner. Really nice.
  Started out a bit acidic and tannic but over time the fruit started to shine (or my taste buds became calibrated).
  
  Love these value aged Bordeaux superior

  July 25, 2019 - No decant. Smooth and balanced with secondary flavours of underbrush, earthy roots, cedar, dark chocolate and plumb notes. Mostly merlot in profile. Lovely balance sexy and smooth. In a zone right now. Great balance but not an overly long finish. Peaking and will be great for another 2 years or so. Excellent for the vintage.
