December 31, 2023 - Still too young! Typical characteristics of the 2005 vintage. Backwards and tannic! Despite being 18 years old, it seems like it is only a few years old! Decanted for 12 hours. I think it still needs 5-10 years further aging to be at its plateau.
Anticipated maturity 2026 to 2032. -

December 16, 2023 - [served blind. my guess was mid-aughts for vintage; as for AOC, i suspected right bank as the Merlot was very present].
deep ruby and garnet rim in the glass. complex and perfumed in the nose: dried rose, cedar shavings, and tobacco waft thru the aromas of macerated cassis and blueberry. juicy, fleshy and round in mouth, the fruit has a supple, silky texture against the very polished tannins. earthy, spice, and dark cocoa notes grow in the mid palate. long, nuanced persistence.
well-developed and likely at peak with another handful of years of enjoyment ahead.
13.5% AbV; equal shares of CS and Merlot (48%), with the rest (4%) PV1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 10, 2023 - Very suave and silky, tannins still there but nicely integrated with fruit, spreads across the palate and very long. Tertiary notes coming through but plenty of time left. Great to drink now.

January 29, 2023 - A superb bottle in great condition, compared to an earlier tasting note 29 Sept '19. On this occasion the wine was darker, denser, richer. A deep, engaging nose, seamless palate and long finish. Wonderful expression of a dry, savoury wine full of elegant spice and floral lift, at the prefect palate weight of 13.5% abv.
