April 22, 2024 - This has definitely improved over the past 3 years. Much sturdier now and drinking well.

StefanAkiko Does not like this wine: 80 points
April 14, 2024 - Around 80p.
Too acidic and only a small showing of Bdx typicity.
Mainly an over-polished CS with poor personality.
Maybe time will do some magic here, but I doubt it.2 people found this helpful Comments (4) -

April 9, 2024 - A modern day classic; there were savoury and seasoned dark fruits, and spice supported by melting tannins which yielded a mocha finish. It had lift, dimension and complexity, developing a super-rich mouthfeel without ever being too weighty. Each mouthful revealed a new dimension and pleasure. Impressive. CHP 94 pts
