May 14, 2022 - Not as dark as the 2015 La Fleur-Petrus. Great future, however will need many years to mature. Drink 2035-2048.

May 14, 2022 - First tasted after one hour in the glass, and again at 24 hours. The nose was so enticing you could inhale the minerality of this wine. On the palate blackberries and plums with more gravel and mineral, but very grippy tannins. I think this wine will be fantastic in 20 years but not so much fun (and kind of a waste) to drink now. Even 24 hours later it is still quite grippy. The 15% alcohol seems less obvious to me vs the other wines wine drank today. I will be looking for older vintages!

May 14, 2022 - This is quite young. The nose is alcoholic, but not overwhelmingly so. Lead, tobacco, cedar and blackberry nose. Some red and black fruits, but still very tightly wound and tannic, but this is very promising. Some less and tobacco. Revisit in 10 years.

May 14, 2022 - Still a big, brooding nose, slightly reductive at the outset but cleaning up nicely with air. Followed for 24 hours, this does begrudgingly give a dense, powerful nose of plum, raspberry jam, and clay with enough air. Very richly textured palate, the tannins are grippy but actually quite civilized already. This is such a large-framed wine that, while the 15% alcohol is noticeable, it doesn’t seem overly domineering. Of course, time will tell as the fruit fades and the alcohol doesn’t. But that will take a long time, indeed.
