  March 21, 2021 - Deep garnet in color. Nose of cherry, stone, and forest floor. Second nose opens up with more of the same. Flavor of red fruit that is acidic and dry on entry. Flavor builds throughout the palate and lingers. Delicate but flavorful. Still has a good amount of tanins to it.

  September 8, 2019 - Etihad & Lufthansa - flights & lounges; 9/8/2019-9/14/2019 (Sydney, Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt, Berlin): Somewhat evolved. Still, liquorice and blackcurrant quite primary, on the nose. Lots of chocolate-coated currants too. Actually very inviting. Palate has a bit of tobacco, twig, cigar-box; ticks lots of the boxes but also has a slightly thin, stretched character to it. It never quite veers into green, but there’s a touch of dilution about it. The nose is better than the palate, by a degree of magnitude. Seems to rely a bit on oak for the nose, and that doesn’t really work on the palate. Drink til 2022; there’s surely nothing after that. (Etihad EY451 First Class: Sydney-Abu Dhabi)

  May 24, 2019 - From memory. Standard St Emillion nose, strawberry, cassis, leather. Classic and full on the palette, nice length. Uncomplicated. Nothing really stuck in my mind to define it. Will probably be more memorable in 10 yrs.
