February 25, 2024 - Very elegant and deceptively complex. Certainly nothing terribly advanced from a maturity perspective, but there are definitely secondary characteristics poking their heads out. Dark plummy fruit with wonderfully fragrant spice and saddle leather. The fruit is very much in the driver's seat and texturally this is very fine. Good length on the finish, these will go on a very nice adventure.

Will try again and evaluate. Behind the Bret was nice red fruit and partially resolved tannins. Good balance

July 20, 2023 - Au nez...poussiéreux, notes florales et végétales, prune broyée, épices...beau nez complexe. Souple, gras et ample, rond avec des saveurs de fruits mûrs et d'épices...cannelle. Équilibré. Finale moyenne sur une note de noyau de cerise. Pas un grand millésime mais très bien tout de même.

July 3, 2023 - En verticale avec 3 autres millésimes : 2010-2011-2012-2013…Le 2ième meilleur. Superbe équilibre . Semblable au 2011 mais un peu moins de longueur en bouche. Il a pris plus de temps à s’épanouir en verre que les autres. Fantastique !!!
