  October 31, 2023 - from a half bottle. wine down to top of neck. cork mildew through two third of the cork. screw pull was used to keep cork in tack. beautiful color. wine was drinkable for 45 minutes. twenty threes old .
  amazing glass of wine. purchased in the resell market.
  nice to see that wine can age and be enjoyed many years down the road.
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like prune. It tastes like light toast. The body is full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

  March 31, 2021 - Not much fruit left to speak of, but no secondary or tertiary flavors to note. A bit flat, might be in an in-between phase. Drinkable, light, but nothing especially exciting. Past its prime but not old enough where other funky interesting changes (which admittedly aren’t to everyone’s tastes) might have kicked in.

  February 8, 2021 - Very surprised by how good this wine is. Quite mature but still full of life with a very silky texture and lovely flavors of subdued black fruits and graphite minerals. The finish is very elegant and complex with notes of dark chocolate, dark spices and still a bit of limestone grip. A perfectly stored bottle and a very fine showing but certainly time to drink up.

  August 25, 2020 - Zoom tasting with the wine group - Bordeaux: Medium-deep ruby with slight bricking; nose is highly aromatic with mature fruit, a bit of jammy figs; palate is full bodied, excellent textured mouthfeel, plenty of fruit but also with tertiary depth, balanced and already integrated tannins, medium-plus fresh acidity; finish is medium. Nice! 90

  September 19, 2019 - From a 75ml bottle. Pleasantly surprised that it is still alive and kicking. No in decent, but do drink up.
