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.
July 25, 2021 - Decanted briefly at RF's Vt lakehouse. Nose of tobacco & herbs, some leather. Wine very much showing its age. Light to medium body, very tannic, very acidic, still some black fruit here that faded rather quickly (Mistake to decant this wine). There's some tobacco, some leather, some forest floor. Not much depth, and the fruit faded. A bit of a disappointment.
July 4, 2019 - Fra Magnum. Vanvittig bra fra første glass, relativ fet frukt, syre hvor den hører hjemme, taniner finknust. Bare god.
August 24, 2018 - Dinner at Ks, wines tasted blind, theme 2005 or older, thought was a left bank Bordeaux from Pauillac, my guess from a great vintage, subtle, classy, delicious, very good Conseillante
April 11, 2018 - Evolving at a glacial pace! Still very deep ruby in colour! Fabulous nose of dried herbs, minerals and rich red fruits! Smooth on the palate and still young! Quite satisfying and alluring! Can't ask for more from the vintage 1996
January 19, 2018 - Beautiful wine, kept getting better in the Zalto, wotn for me, class & elegance personified!
