    April 10, 2023 - Tasted blind next to the 1983 Lalande. Disappointing. Fully resolved, not much structure left, tastes like an older wine with a short finish.

    February 11, 2023 - Pronounced nose intensity with notes of toast, charr wood, spices, cooked black fruits. Medium acidity and medium tannin. At its best drinking window. Will not improve further. Drank the 3/12 OWC. Consistent notes.
