  Plum and stony fruit more than cassis, wet tobacco, and lovely Margaux perfume on the nose. Midweighted, classically proportioned and harmonious understated wine drinking on the back end of peak. Lovely.

  January 30, 2020 - savory with stones and minerals and some dark fruits. There is a streak of sweetness running through that’s pretty and perfumed. This was better than the 89 GPL. 16/20.

  December 24, 2019 - Still quite dark in colour, well evolved around the rim. Lovely nose - soft notes of old leather, spices, cedar, tobacco, sweet fruit. On the palate still harmonious and well balanced - the tannins are fully resolved and the fruit is almost gone, but the acidity is well integrated. A little thin and not very long, but a lovely bottle overall. Drink up. 88-90

  November 3, 2019 - This was quite the surprise. Youthful color. Fruit is tertiary but still there. Great aromatics with a fine mint note. Elegant and polished. Much better than exprcted.
