  April 2, 2024 - Another fantastic bottle. The aromatics glow with gently pungent truffle-y forest floor, tobacco, cassis, and leathery scents, and the whole of the nose is complex, absolutely alluring, and worth the price of admission alone. Balanced on the palate and with a dollop of sweetness that isn't fruity, somehow. It's more articulate on the nose than on the palate, but it’s a delicious and expressive wine that shows the roundness of the right bank and offers the beauty of a mature Bdx. We were three-for-five on this wine, however - other bottles were not as great.

  February 24, 2024 - Wet leaves and forest floor. Hints of red fruit and tobacco. VERY slightly astringent on the back palate

  December 25, 2023 - Fantastic bottle - every bit as beautiful as the first one, after two flawed bottles, a relief. Aromatically complex and with real pungency and allure to the perfume, which is a harmony of delicate dark cassis fruit, dried flowers, and soil. Other things too but hard to name because the wine is so seamless. The nose is energetic too, fresh. The palate is perfectly harmonious and carries the complexity, grace, and energy of the nose all the way through the finish, which is pungent and long. This was a great bottle, and its hard to imagine what one could wish in this wine for that isn't already here.

  September 1, 2023 - On the leafy, herbal, tobacco, and metallic side of the style range, there are more secondary nuances than fruit here as the wine has dropped its fruits and is fading, finishing with piquant red berries, herbs, pepper, and tobacco leaves. Drink from 2023-2023.
