  September 1, 2023 - Lucky me. Second time in the last two weeks served this same wine by the same friend. Again, a 98 and the same perceptions as on 8/20/23. Fabulous.

  August 20, 2023 - Wow, an exceptional wine worthy of its lofty ratings, IMO. This wine is light on fresh fruit, heavy on terroir. For me, the flavor profile was of tar, volcanic scree, medium roast espresso beans of high caliber, cigar, forest floor. I loved it. This seems like it could age forever, perhaps at a glacial pace. Although there's no rush to drink it, I greatly enjoyed it today and don't see a reason to await something different.

  August 2, 2023 - Tasting at the winery. Acidity is still in the foreground. Fresh and vibrant. Red and black fruit. Still some grippy tannins and a long life ahead. very well made

  June 18, 2023 - Half Century Magnum Lunch (La Trompette) (London): From Magnum. A big wine, deep in colour, mostly Merlot with 8% Cab Franc and a splash of Malbec. The Cab Franc shows on the nose in a lovely way and there is a cool / altitude feel about it so the 14.5% isn’t obvious. It’s a pup. Revisit.
