  September 8, 2021 - Blinded, initial guesses were Cab Franc, Mark got Graves, JC DDC. Everyone surprised at vintage. There’s some greenness, lighter framed, but good persistence B

  August 1, 2020 - Tasting the wine blind we were immediately enthusiastic about the soft balance and complexitie. A cigarbox and ashtray memorised on the previous tasting note on CT, are not recognised at all. There is no decay at all in this wine and it will certainly last for a couple of years. After tasting a few examples of 1976 we realise that there are some big surprises which should not be neglected. Allard Botenga

  August 21, 2019 - quite low expectations. But this really isn’t that bad- tart red and black cherry, some cigarbox, just a hint of ashtray but it actually seems to dissipate with air. Very light for Bordeaux, finish is short, sure it was better 20 years ago (but probably always light)., but certainly drinkable, which is more than I expected B-
