March 31, 2024 - It’s starting the drinking window. Quite round but not as aspected.
Quite strong 14.5 alcohol. Better to wait 4/5 years for the next bottle -

January 7, 2024 - blend of 78% Merlot, and 22% Cabernet Franc, this wine is concentrated with a lot of berries and floral aroma with good oak. Medium body with long finishing. Decanted for 2 hours which is required.

December 28, 2023 - Un bon Bordeaux mais à mon avis les tannins ne sont pas encore pleinement intégrés. J’attendrais encore pour les prochaines bouteilles. Le potentiel est intéressant avec des saveurs de fruits noirs, de café et de chocolat.

July 16, 2023 - Meaty, soy bean sauce, truffle, violet, dried longan, musk, wet dirt, sweet spice finish. Seems developing a little fast than expected, so does the high alcohol, but still in good balance. I find my palate is evolving and moving away from such wines.

March 23, 2023 - Decanted for two hours prior to drinking. On the nose, creosote, mushroom, char. To the palate, Christmas spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, along with earth and cool smoke. Medium acidity, low tannin, wood integrated. Enjoyed with roast lamb and risotto with dark gravy - a perfect combination to help extol the positives of this wine, and apparently this particular bottle. Ready now. Advise decanting first. Another winner from 2011.
