January 8, 2024 - Fully mature Bordeaux with aromas and tastes of black cherries, tobacco, mint, and anise. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Tannins are smooth. Drink now as this wine is probably on the downward slope of its drinking window.

May 2, 2014 - Perfectly in line with previous notes. Delicious wine, although very modern style. Tannins are softening and becoming very approachable. In a very nice stage right now.
