  April 9, 2024 - Plums, blackcurrant, plums. Fleshy with some tertiary notes though in Haut Medoc fashion a bit grippy. Nice w/food

  March 18, 2024 - Similar to my drinking experience two years ago. Very dark red. Blackberry aroma. It tastes like blackberries, dust and espresso, with a hint of bitterness. After 1 hour, the sweetness of the figs has increased noticeably. This young wine needs at least 1 hour of decanting time, but it is delicious.

  March 15, 2024 - Drunk over 4 hours, showed nicely throughout. A very consistent producer, still a bargain and a nice introduction to class growth bordeaux. Clearly this can be aged a lot longer and may pick up a point or two.

  March 11, 2024 - Going with 91 on this. Drunk over three days. Out of the bottle dense, closed tight as a fist, but over the course of an hour or so began to reveal itself. Corked and left overnight, 60 degrees. Second day it was considerably expanded. Third day, even more expanded with the dark berry fruit beginning to show through the tannins underneath that may take some years to fully resolve. I had one other Haut Medoc, an '09, at the 10 year mark was brooding, dark and tight. Then, seemingly overnight, the next year it blossomed out and was supple and somewhat refined. The same thing might happen with this wine. I'll wait until 2016 to see what happens next -- but only three bottles left.
