    March 4, 2024 - Unlike other 2014s tasted last week, this was quite backward and unyielding, with prominent and quite harsh tannins. Nevertheless, there was a fine silky quality to the fruit, which should dominate the tannins in a few more years. Overall, I was not impressed enough to buy more - it reminded me too much of the 08, which is not their best. Hopefully it'll improve.

    June 24, 2023 - Relatively unimpressive fruit, even if with some good earthiness, after several houra of decanting. Not the best vintage.

    Day 1: Classic Pessac with gravel, roasted Chesnuts, leather, wood, dust and earth. Drinking nicely on the pop and pour. 91 points
    Day 2: Day 2 showing even better with minerals, gravel, dust, wood, blueberries, Chesnuts, earth and menthol. Medium plus finish and a really nice Claret. 92 points
    Day 3: Not as good but solid. Sour cherry, minerals, gravel, light wood and red currants. Finish is shorter and less intense than the peak on day 2. 90 points
    Recommendation: Drink over the next five years.

    October 18, 2022 - Dark garnet colour. Pruny, mature nose with forest floor, mushroom and marmite aromas. Solidly built, assertive palate with peppery tannins and a quality, graphite mineral essence to the flavours; firm dry finish. Smells a bit over-the-hill but the palate is still lively and compelling.
    4/5
