  April 19, 2021 - Lovely matured cabernet.
  At peak now.
  I was afraid to decant too much this wine but this was an error. It improves strongly after 30min carafe as fruits waking up and everything getting in place.

  March 13, 2021 - Dinner from Isfahan (Chicago, IL): Sadly this bottle wasn't as good as my last two experiences with this wine. The nose shows a very mild hint of pyrazine, as well as quite a bit of dried herbs. The palate is a little plummy and shows a fair bit of ripeness and alcohol, but I wouldn't say it's over the top either. I know what this wine can be, so it's definitely a little disappointing.

  March 29, 2020 - Very nice, good quality and long cork, better than the one from Vega sicilia yesterday...
  Garnet color, the center shows as mature wine, there is some bricking at the rim.
  Strong bouquet of lovage which dissipates a little as the wine is exposed to air.
  The lovage also appears on the palate, but in fainter notes. Otherwise there is a strong tannic grip, and a touch of softer sweetness. The wine is quite intense and has a good finish but my feeling is that the tannins have eaten up most of the fruit and that the wine is well into its tertiary stage.
  At this point I want to repeat my earlier recommendation is: drink up unless your wine is in larger format bottles.

  February 9, 2020 - Mas de Daumas Gassac Tasting and Dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): After the tasting in the afternoon, revisited at dinner in the evening. Even with 32 people, a Mathusalem is an ample quantity of wine...

  February 9, 2020 - Mas de Daumas Gassac Tasting and Dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Mathusalem. An amazing wine, this has everything, freshness and fruit, firm but ripe tannins, cedary and meaty, cool and minerally but generous and elegant, incredibly youthful, still floral and evolving at a glacial pace in this grand format, excellent length. Stunning.
