October 25, 2023 - When opened the palate had a razors edge of acidity. Very sour and nothing Bordeaux about it. Nose had notes of truffle, sharp ripe dark fruit and wet earth. After a few hours the fruit gains the definition of plum.
Palate leads with Loganberry, cocoa, and tobacco leading into leather tannins and notes of Iron, savory herds and blackberry. The acidity broadens on a finish that features notes of blueberry and truffle. It is more of an Italian wine like a Chianti than a Bordeaux. (I'd have rated it an 84 initially and that was a nod to "as a Chianti".
After several hours the wine opens a palate of plum and tobacco up front with a line of iron and wet stone. Much better. -

February 17, 2020 - Amsterdam UGCB Tasting and Winemakers' Dinner (Beurs van Berlage / Eden Hotel): Trade tasting, brief note. A bit stalky, the fruit feels a bit underripe, cranberries, red currants, lacks power and persistence.

January 25, 2020 - Redcurrant, red cherry, intense pencil nose. Oak obscures the otherwise fresh and pencilly palate, but still in the 90 +/- range.

January 24, 2020 - 2017 UGC Des Bordeaux, San Francisco, no Cabernet Sauvignon-lost all to weather, 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, nose of dark fruit, and ash, medium body, lovely, brooding, needs time and maybe a prayer
