    September 12, 2023 - Tasted over 2 hrs
    -med dark red minimal clearing
    -stony black cherry faint menthol note
    -med acidity, med weight fairly expansive earthy black cherry equally intermingled with some mildly oxidative mature notes, long finish punctuated by cherry menthol cough drop with a caramel note and med tannins
    -on its mature plateau starting to decline, has some tannic structure it can shed but this bottle already showing some oxidative notes, better than a bottle 6 years ago

    April 13, 2023 - Cherry, ash, green pepper, and some muskiness on the nose. Heavy tannins and very dry. A little bit of overripe fruit. Decanted for an hour, decent amount of sediment. Tried again the next day and it was better.

    November 24, 2022 - This is past its time. Opened a bottle before the thanksgiving feast begins. It’s quite closed with little to no fruit. Will keep it open for a couple of hours and see if it changes, but for now, probably best for me to open the other half a case left ASAP. Wonder how the 2010’s are doing?!?

    August 28, 2022 - Robe cerise avec des reflets brunâtres;
    Splendide nez, principalement sur l'anis, les herbes séchées, les épices douces & une petit qqchose de plan de tomate (subtil & en arrière plan). Le bouquet est harmonieux. Une touche florale complète le bouquet qui est tout en élégance.
    La bouche est en ligne avec le nez, les notes d'anis sont présentes du début à la fin, le fruité est présent mais plus en retrait, bien entrmêlé avec des notes de poussières de roches & de tabac. Les tannins sont encore nombreux mais avec cette impression poudreuse, L'acidité est encore bien présente & supporte toujours bien l'ensemble, belle amertume agréable en fin de bouche. Belle finale sur les épices. Encore fort jeune pour ces 14 ans!
