April 21, 2024 - Quite expressive as would be expected for a hot vintage and yet incredibly elegant and harmonious without any hint of raisins that many lesser wines of this vintage show. Fantastic.

April 11, 2024 - Unfortunately a bit young for my taste. I found it to be still quite closed, would wait.

February 2, 2024 - Bordeaux first-growth lunch: Brought for me by a friend. Some bottle variation I suspect with this wine judging from previous notes. This was so subtle and elegant that most guessed Margaux from a cooler vintage like '01! Loved the silkiness on the palate even though it didn't have the most complexity or length. This bottle was drinking perfectly today.

January 21, 2024 - Not many words to say - you just need to drink it and close your eyes. The price is the right one. That’s it.
