April 6, 2024 - Tasted at a Commanderie de Bordeaux Tasting. Still young but approachable. Will drink for several decades. Great palate. nose still young, just right with duck cassoulet.

March 17, 2024 - Drank over two days, alongside the same vintage Domaine de Chevalier.
This has not softened as much as the DdC. Rather, it has retained its original, velvet gloved iron fist character. Delightful fruit, high-order expression of (Pauillac) place, exceptional structure and grip. The finish reveals no conception of quit.
My preference over the DdC, on the strength of its rusticity. Tanninphobes might want to give this a wide berth through 2035. Indeed, even the tannin initiated might find holding bottles through 2030 rewarding. 97-98.13 people found this helpful Comments (10) -

March 16, 2024 - The intoxicating nose wafts out of the glass with abundant notes of floral dark fruits - dark raspberry, black rose, blueberry pastille, blackberry coulis, parma violets, with suggestions of graphite, incense, dusty lavender and hot crushed rocks. Ultra-fine, sleek, polished tannins, with a medium weight, sweet-toned mouthfeel - youthful, but lovely already without decant. The finish is long, silky and airy, with a peppery bite and firm, grainy tannins. With ribeye and garlic rosemary potatoes.

February 28, 2024 - While I liked the bottle, it was not ready. Still very tannic. Decanted for 2 hours, poured it back into the bottle and enjoyed it at a local restaurant.
A bit disappointed, but patience is a virtue - so I'll wait.6 people found this helpful Comments (13)
