    December 30, 2023 - Opened a 375 cl bottle and it is not holding up well despite the right storage conditions. Sad little teddy hear that’s lost it’s stuffing.

    September 10, 2023 - Sex år sedan förra flaskan. Inte tillstymmelse till försämring, tvärtom. Tegelröd och fullpackad av tertiära aromer där jag tycker tobak sticker ut. Underbar och utmärkt.

    April 22, 2023 - Opened in Hong Kong. Decanted and enoyed over dinner with friends.

    Not as good as the 2000 that we had alongside it. Less structure and definitely more advanced.

    That being said, still a good bottle of Bordeaux and very enjoyable with food. Will keep, but unsure about longevity for upside so would not hesitate to enjoy with a bit of air.

    April 22, 2023 - Approach to full maturity, creamy, velvety texture on the palate! Nose of amazing dark, sweet mineral fruits! Warm the hearts, lovely wine deserves attention.

    December 16, 2021 - Delicious wine. It's a lighter style of Bordeaux in some ways - high acid and good fruit and just a bit less body than normal but I really enjoyed it. Will continue to keep an eye out for this producer.
