  June 14, 2023 - My last of these. Similar to previous notes but a bit more open than I remember. Showed better on the 2nd day - more fruit expression and sweetness coming through. Feels very traditional.

  September 13, 2022 - Hard to rate this as it still feels quite closed which seems to be typical for this producer which really needs more time than most. Also, I've always struggled a bit with the '14 vintage. Held up ok on day 3, but the fruit was a bit more muted. One to forget about for another ten years.

  September 11, 2021 - Intense and meaty exuding plum, blackberry, leather and cigar box. Aromatic, medium to full bodied, well balanced and medium well integrated tannins. Finish is lenghty and meaty. Good right bank merlot predominantly blend. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:4

  May 20, 2021 - This was slightly muted at first, with medium tannins and forest floor, but it opened after some decanting in a rich taste of boysenberry and cassis, with undertones of oak. Very smooth. Fruit was more pronounced on the second day. Drinking great now, probably has a couple years left in it.
