March 1, 2024 - Still very powerful, and nowhere near ready to have run its course. Tannins still quite present, although slightly softened, still quite dark in colour and dark berries notes still present as well with a nice fresh acidity. Will keep for a few more years still at least.

February 5, 2023 - Dense black, blue, and red berries are powerful and concentrated tested. Starts out as slightly backward and tannic, and both the fruit and structure got more intense with more air. Good now, prob better in a few more years.

March 31, 2019 - I passed on this wine last year, what a mistake. The remarkable 2015 vintage and shall I say I won't be missing the 2016 this time, is so package with red and blue fruits it's memorizing. Concentration and balance akin to a ripe and hot year, this wine will last another 20 years eyes closed. There might still be some on shelves, run.

December 29, 2018 - Medium dark ruby. Black fruit, medium spicy, a nice hit of white pepper. Integrated and rather smooth. Highly enjoyable. (At Baltard au Louvre.)
