April 8, 2024 - Again, this wine is currently drinking very well. Olives. Mushrooms. Truffles. Maybe some mustard. Cigar wrapper. Coffee. Balanced. Sophisticated. Elegant. There is special and unique beauty in the style. An old school Pauillac for sure. Easy to drink, and easy alcohol too despite the 13% level. I have been holding the purchase since release, procured via futures. Some bottles remain, and I will be pushing for 20 to 30 years. Unfortunately I lost the cork again, only to be saved by The Durand.

March 15, 2024 - It’s not uncommon for Bordeaux to disappoint when placed next to top Australian Cabernet but tonight, next to Cullen Diana Madeline 2005 (screwcap) it was the Duhart-Milon (cork) that shone.
I have high hopes now for my remaining bottles in my cellar.3 people found this helpful Comment -

January 26, 2024 - Just blahh, rather muted flavors without any distinguishing identity. Really dissapointing since my last bottle. I'm not sure if it's in a transition phase or just a mess now. I might as well try and wait it out since nothing to lose and hope it pulls put of a tailspin.

December 31, 2023 - From magnum, double decanted 3 hours prior. Medium body slight brick, evolved Bordeaux nose, still sweet yet tannic. Lengthy harsh finish. Although there is still a decade of life, I'm not sure how much more it will improve.

December 29, 2023 - Perfectly stored since release. Cork perfect. Upon opening no real signs of aging. On nose beautiful red fruits, tobacco, black fruits, sweet cedar, (basically what one would expect). First taste nothing… soapy aftertaste, thin, watery w soap. 2 hrs later nothing on nose, and thin soapy aftertaste.
Is this bottle flawed? What could the flaw be? There were no detectable signs of TCA!
Appreciate any thoughts as I have never experienced this with a bottle.1 person found this helpful Comment
