  December 25, 2023 - Im Glas trotz seiner 28 Jahre der Wein immer noch mit der Farbe eines Frischen Johannisbeersaftes, keine Oxidationsnoten, ani­ma­li­sch mit Noten von schwar­zem Pfeffer, viel Kirsche, samtig und etwas weniger an einen opulenten alten Pome­rol erinnernd wie die Jahre zuvor. Der 1995er kommt nun etwas eleganter daher. Ein schöner stimmiger Wein, der am nächsten Tag sogar noch etwas zu legen kann. An Opulenz etwas verloren an Eleganz gewonnen, Trinkfenster -2026 (+)

  December 24, 2023 - A fantastic Masseto that was silky and round with smoothe tannins. Fully integrated. Very charming today.

  December 9, 2023 - 2023 Athens Wine Event; 12/8/2023-12/9/2023 (Athens, Greece): Tasted blind and followed in the footsteps of the Perfect 1990 Montrose ( Papies 99) . Felt a bit like the new world version for a hot 1990s vintage like a 1994 and that ripeness sort of stole away from the beauty of this almost. Touch of a burn on The fruit. A wine we never really came friends and even a dozen years ago green and not spoiled didn’t get along with it ( Papies 93) . This is not a poor wine in any measure but really fat this level we expected the supercalifrajilisticexpialidocious level of elegance. 93-94

  July 31, 2021 - A truly great wine. Big name, big price but also real big wine. Of course very Pomerol ! This is fresh, herbal ,minty , chewy and long. Nowhere too heavy or stewed. Needed air and blossomed to remarkable juice. Much money but f... ing good !

  July 30, 2021 - I am coming back to this after 2 hours with my 2nd and last bottle. Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep garnet with an orange rim. On the nose: Plum, sour cherry, cassis and some graphite. On the palate: Plum, cherry, a bit of dark chocolate and hint of licorice. Mouthfeel is lovely and silky. It’s very good but needs to be great. I score a bit higher than before but still well below other years I’ve had.
