May 18, 2022 - Funky smell when just opened. After 1.5 hours, tasts really nice. Smoke, red fruit and a lot of spices.

May 12, 2022 - Chateau that stays a bit under the radar, had only this one bottle, but a very positive surprise. Drank over 3 days, best on day 2 and 3. Fruit driven with clear Bordeaux blackcurrant and a bit smokey. Nice finish with very smooth tannins. Overall very nice to drink and at a good spot. Decant recommended.

January 3, 2021 - Much better than expected and still evolved in the glass. An elegant and dry wine with nice tannins, oak, cedar, and cherries.
