July 10, 2020 - Served blind to our friends next to a BV Georges de la Tour from the 70's. Honestly if you take into account the difference in pricing I might have preferred this wine. It's not a stand out in any way, but it's easy drinking and enjoyable and good age and it was very reasonable.

November 17, 1989 - With K at home at dinner (pizza). Dark ruby-purple. Fruity, oaky aromas. On the palate, quite oaky and a bit short on fruit. Not nearly as luscious or complex as I remember it. Appears to be fading. 5-10-12-5: 82/100.

October 4, 1988 - With K at home at dinner (t-bone steak). Rich red ruby. Incredible, beautifully structured fruity nose. In the mouth, a thing of beauty. Perfectly balance, complex fruit flavors. The finish lasts and exhibits different facets from first swallow to last taste. Magnificent. 5-13-17-8: 93/100.
