  July 29, 2022 - Blind tasting at home; 7/29/2022-7/30/2022: Dark purple. This wine is more complex than the initial 3. Multiple layers yet integrated. Rich body. Some perfume on the nose which is distinctive.
  
  Strong tannins 8/10 but smooth - I assume at least 10 yrs old.
  
  HL 2 FD 3

  December 18, 2021 - Needed a decant with aggressive aeration. Deep, lush, fruity and decadent. Still a youngster. Delicious, big, and characteristic of the house style.

  December 6, 2020 - There is nothing subtle about this inky, silky wine, but it is just pure, indulgent pleasure. Blackberry bramble, ripe plums and a long, long finish. There are some notes of chocolate, currant, moist earth and cedar, but the dark fruits dominate, and that is just fine.

  November 13, 2020 - Kleur: Diep ondoordringbaar robijnrood. Aroma / bouquet: Een bijna 'klassiek' bouqet met zoetig overkomende tonen van blauwe bessen, cassis, kruidige ontbijtkoek en marsepein. Smaak / Afdronk: Beperkte zuurgraad, direct vanaf de eerste aanzet mondvullend en verleidelijk zacht, mede dankzij een subtiele alcoholische zoetigheid. Krachtige tannines, rijk en intens. Algemeen / potentieel: Op dit moment briljant op dronk, serieus krachtige wijn. Klassiek in de neus, nieuwe werelds in de mond, vooral op basis van het serieuze alcoholpromillage. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 91/100
  
  Color: Deep impenetrable ruby red. Aroma / bouquet: An almost 'classic' bouqet with sweet notes of blueberries, cassis, spicy gingerbread and marzipan. Taste / Finish: Limited acidity, right from the first start mouth-filling and seductively soft, partly thanks to a subtle alcoholic sweetness. Powerful tannins, rich and intense. Overall / potential: Currently a brilliant drink, seriously powerful wine. Classic on the nose, new worlds on the palate, mainly based on the serious alcohol level. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Finish: 16 + Overall / potential: 8 = 91/100
