October 1, 2023 - Blackberry, black cherry, leather, hints of mushroom; firm and with some grip, yet also with a certain elegance, along with good persistence, and somewhat gentle but still slightly tannic finish

August 8, 2023 - Terrific wine and what an older Bordeaux is all about. Perfectly integrated tannins with lovely right bank fruit. Delicious after an hour plus decant.
