December 2, 2023 - Quick decant and on to it. Quite complex but on the rustic side. Certainly well kept bottle but based on prior notes this bottle may have aged quicker than others'. We'll see with the next bottle but I'm prob gonna open it within the next year to correctly project my other bottles.

May 1, 2023 - Tasted regularly, this is without doubt the greatest from the estate drinking and is the embodiment of the right bank wines from one of the most iconic vintages in our recent times. The right bankers are far ahead of their left bank siblings from the year, and already displaying secondary and tertiary notes, but with at least a good decade of prime drinking ahead of it. Taste profile is as per previous, but interestingly a distinct floral background of lavender and violet has appeared during the last year end palate. Highly recommended.

April 15, 2023 - Great, tertiary Bordeaux notes, very aromatic. Dense and fruity with strong structure. An aristocratic, top Bordeaux on its peak plateau. Drink now till 2030.

January 28, 2023 - Dark ruby red; P&P over an hour; nose brought tart red cherries, green cardamom and a little pepper finish; with a little time the nose develops a mild turpentine, wood spirits note.
Very pleasant in a Asian( Indian) food profile, less so with French Cuisine
