  January 22, 2024 - I did the classic Bordeaux and burgers with the homemade buns, grilled onions, etc, with the guy who is back from Japan. He may have had this before in his travels, but it seemed novel enough anyway. Cork was fine again, the wine is nicely mature. Very nice bottle as well as a good story.

  January 19, 2024 - Good nose typical of an old world Bordeaux. The fruit was very mellow and cigar box, leather, and tobacco notes dominated the nose and palette. Drinking well now and should for a few more years.

  December 27, 2023 - Cork was in very good condition, as was label. Wine did not taste faded, although all the tannins had smoothed out. Medium body. We had it with a chickpea and squash dish that had turmeric and ginger, not an easy pairing, but it did fine. Dominant fruits were black plums. The nose was actually much more impressive, with forest floor, sloes, blackberries (definitely darker fruited). I doubt this is getting better, but it's quite nice now and glad I have two more. The story behind it is pretty good, too.
