March 8, 2024 - High fill and cork in good condition. Dusty dark berries and a typical St Estephe spiciness on the nose. Cloves, pepper, sage, thyme and subtle tertiary flavours such as cedar. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced with well-integrated tannins. Slender to medium body. The wine was present immediately after opening and developed nicely over 1 to 1.5 hours in the glass. After two hours, it slowly faded. Classic mature old school Bordeaux. Excellent

March 5, 2023 - Académie des Cinquante Tasting and Dinner with the Académie du Vin de Bordeaux (Restaurant Entrepot, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Youthful, mature, lively, delicate aromas and flavours, oyster shell nose, gentle spice, gentle tannins, fresh and with a lovely evolution. A wonderful, mature Saint-Estèphe.

May 21, 2021 - Der Wein ist seit dem letzten Mal nicht schlechter, eher besser geworden! Insgesamt sanft und rund in Nase und Mund; typisch klassischer Bordeaux mit einer Miscung aus Moder/ Stallgeruch und etwas dunklem Früchten.

March 23, 2020 - A respectable St. Estephe still holding up... likely as good as it will be!
