December 15, 2023 - Ruby to garnet in thin layers. Nice intensity with red and black currants, blackberries, vanilla. A bit lacking nuances, complexity. On the palate for its age and pedigree still quite tannic. Difficult to tell if this is going to loose too much of its intensity and nice fruit, before it gets more nuances and becomes smooth. 5/12/16/8+. 91 points and it seems almost too much for me. A real step down to the Pesqueras of the 90s at this age, I guess. -2028+?

April 14, 2023 - Bu en parallèle avec le 2019.
En très grande forme. Tanins assouplis, mais pas si facile à l'aveugle de reconnaître les 10 ans de plus...
Délice, à garder encore plusieurs années, mais approchable. -

June 19, 2022 - This is still early in its evolution. Elegance is achieved only after days open.
