  March 31, 2014 - Colour: purple. Nose: smoky with berries. Quite agreeable. Taste: smoke, blueberries, maybe also cedar and at first quite classy secondary notes. After a while in the glass the quality diminished a bit. At the third day a bit more open. After all a rather nice wine with nice flavours, that lack some more power against what resembles like some remaining tannins? I doubt whether this wine will get better with further ageing, but disclose it neither. (86-)87.

  March 21, 2014 - Drank over two days. Day one a pleasant wine with dark forest fruits, good acidity and tannin with still some bite. Day two the tannin was completely melted and the sweetness of the ripe fruits of this hot vintage showed a bit more, but the wine was even more nice. If my administration is correct there must be one more bottle which I should drink between now and 2016.

  October 18, 2013 - Consistent with my note of 3/3/2012. I scored it one point higher this evening.

  May 26, 2013 - See my note from March. I was a bit more positive then, but this certainly is a very decent Medoc.
