October 24, 2023 - 2nd tasting note. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of black berry, fig, smoke, toast, spices, charr wood, flora. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Tannin is velvety. In its perfect drinking window now.

June 15, 2023 - Gorgeous. Nice generous primary red and black fruits. Underbrush and saddle leather. Medium plus weight. Earthy, dusty, grainy tannins, typical of Figeac. Good acidity. Long and complex. Drinking now but still young.

May 17, 2023 - Amazing Bordeaux To Mark A Special Birthday (Noizé, London): Rich damson fruit on the nose here with some redcurrant reduction, some orange zest and a little cinnamon. Later there are some liquorice and hawthorn notes. Plate starts a little tight and for this remains a wine that whilst ready is on the upslope. Lovely breadth and resolving tannins. What a start to the reds.
