February 13, 2024 - Tasted over two days, alongside the same vintage Trotanoy and Léoville-Barton.
The words bouquet and perfume cannot adequately convey this wine's olfactory expressiveness. Floral and fruit notes (live, fresh, dried, and essences) linger in the background, behind root vegetables (raw, sauteed, roasted), live and dry herbs, assorted olives, tobacco (all forms), umami, smokehouse, all things savory (kelp, iodine), ash, minerals, and ores.
The wine tastes like it smells, in inflection changing waves. Bold, concentrated, and precise. Without any sense of the contrived fruitiness, heavy timber, and nasal membrane destroying alcohol that characterize the modern style. Medium plus acid and medium tannins frame the substance beautifully. Indescribable sophistication and nuance! Neither Bordeaux could match this wine's range and depth.
All elements point to another decade+ of life. Satisfying in all regards. Stupendous QPR! 97-98.12 people found this helpful Comments (3) -

December 25, 2023 - Medium ruby in glass. Medium plus intensity on the nose. Prunes, ash, menthol and violets. Medium acidity and medium plus tannins that have resolved. Good balance and close to the peak of its drinking window. If you have multiple bottles drink one now. Good food wine.

December 22, 2023 - Deep ruby color. Nose of black cherry, dusty earth, minerality. Medium bodied on the palate, great food wine.
