  February 23, 2024 - First bottle in 2 years. This is developing nicely. Plenty on the nose with cedar, blackcurrant, earth, a touch of vanilla. Still a little lean and acidic. Another bottle in 12 months.

  November 21, 2023 - 13% alcohol. CS 65%, M 30%, PV 5%. Half bottle. The cork has reasonable length and is of pretty good quality; no wine penetration but some tartrate deposits. Not decanted as I found the last bottle to be on the soft side. Deep colour with minimal thinning at the rim.
  Good nose with a harmonious mix of reddish fruit and élevage; similarly poised in the mouth with excellent acidity and good grip as well as a commendable juicy quality; significant confectionery in the finish, although less so than the last time when I decanted. A perfect companion to grilled lamb chops.
  A perennial overachiever in a no non sense sturdy mode, now sadly subsumed in the Magrez morass.

  November 5, 2023 - Decanted for 7 hours, the 2016 poured as a beautiful accompaniment to roasted lamb chops. On the palate, it was well-rounded with restrained tannins. Hints of bayleaf and leather on the nose, with gratifying taste on the palate. Satisfaction continued thru the cheese plate, where it was an excellent pairing with aged English cheddar.
