  April 29, 2021 - Kleur: Diep robijnrood, maar opvallend minder 'opaak' dan vier jaar geleden. Een begin van een oranjebruine rand. Aroma / bouquet: Beperkte expressiviteit. Ik kan me nauwelijks voorstellen dat degene die deze wijn niet in eerdere stadia van haar ontwikkeling heeft geproefd, nog het minimale spoortje van Ehtylacetaat in deze wijn zal herkennen. Verder nog indrukken van kersencompote, bramen en pure chocola, waarmee de associatie met Mon Cherie kersenbonbons weer compleet is. Smaak / Afdronk: Mondvullend en boterzacht. Zeer beperkte zuurgraad. Boordevol fluwelig zachte tannines. En inmiddels veel meer in balans dan in het verleden. Het gematigde zuurgehalte vormt een prima balans met de zachte tannines terwijl het alcoholpromillage minder opvalt door de ongelofelijke geconcentreerdheid van deze wijn. Algemeen / potentieel: Ik heb deze wijn in meerdere fasen gedronken. In 2013 was het gehalte aan Ethylacetaat alleen met kunstgrepen te hanteren, in 2015 vroeg de wijn om serieus lange beluchting en in 2017 was het fenomeen nauwelijks meer storend. Deze wijn wordt mooier en mooier en heeft nog zeker 10 jaar te gaan. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 93/100
  
  Color: Deep ruby ​​red, but noticeably less 'opaque' than four years ago. A beginning of an orange-brown edge. Aroma / bouquet: Limited expressiveness. I can hardly imagine that anyone who has not tasted this wine in earlier stages of its development will recognize the minimal trace of ethyl acetate in this wine. Furthermore, impressions of cherry compote, blackberries and dark chocolate, with which the association with Mon Cherie cherry bonbons is complete again. Taste / Finish: Mouth-filling and buttery soft. Very limited acidity. Packed with velvety soft tannins. And now much more balanced than in the past. The moderate acidity balances well with the soft tannins, while the alcoholic strength is less noticeable due to the incredible concentration of this wine. General / potential: I drank this wine in several stages. In 2013, the ethyl acetate content could only be handled with tricks, in 2015 the wine required seriously long aeration and in 2017 the phenomenon was hardly disturbing anymore. This wine is getting better and more beautiful and has at least another 10 years to go. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Finish: 17 + Overall / potential: 9 = 93/100

  December 18, 2020 - Hazy, deep vibrant color. Intense, perfumed nose, a bouquet of fresh cherries, fig, cocoa. Ethereal aromatics, bright, heady, enchanting. Palate was silky with layered flavors of bright cherries, dark chocolate, fig. Delicious wine. Perfectly aged.

  March 9, 2017 - Loads of dark berries but not a fruit bomb as it tastes well balanced with just enough acid to keep things tasting fresh. Seems like it's around maturity with no tannins to speak of and a few secondary and tertiary flavors coming through to keep it interesting. Too bad it's my only bottle.
