  December 26, 2018 - At first disappointing but with more air getting better. After about 2 hours a beautiful Pomerol in its best years. Beautiful nose with lots of plum, leather, earth, smoke, spices, wet cement and mint. Beautifully balanced on the palate with good acidity, fine tannins and great sweetness. I wish I had more but that was my only bottle.

  December 22, 2016 - A very nice showing. Mature red fruits, tobacco, more exotic sandalwood and other spicy notes, and savoury earthiness all coming together into a very seamless, medium weight whole. Fully mature with the tannins resolved, drinking very well now.

  December 22, 2016 - The last of my eight bottles, and one of the more youthful, better showings. Red and dark fruit, leather; some green tannin, very nice mouthfeel, a bit bitter in the finish. Quite pretty.

  November 6, 2015 - At a tasting: Bordeaux 1985 at age 30. Medium-dark garnet. Nose of dark fruit and Maggi beef stock, some light sherry tones but not oxidative. Medium bodied on the palate, tannins a more granular than on the Figeac. Good finish. Drink up

  October 5, 2014 - One of the better showings I've had from this wine. Very savoury, with lots of cedar, graphite, tobacco, and dried herbs framing gentle red fruited flavours. Not a whole lot of fruit left, but this seems to be at peak now, and very enjoyable.
