  April 6, 2022 - Old leather and fading, but lovely bouquet and persistent on the palate.

  February 26, 2022 - Why 62 is less than 61 (Wine Watch, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): Ex Mähler-Besse 2009. I just don’t see how this was almost voted first by the group. While it seemed a bit better than the ‘61 I tasted recently, if the property had been well managed in this era, I think they could have done much better. The well saturated color is the best part and suggested it was a pristine bottle. Not much aroma. On the palate it’s decent but lacks fruit and sucrosity and finishes short.

  Fatigué, un grand-père un peu courbé, mais qui avait des choses à dire en mangeant. Couleur cuivrée, nez oxydé, pruneau, épices, pas net, trop vieux...
  Et pourtant sur le boeuf carottes, il retrouvait des couleurs, amusant, le plat effaçait ses défauts. Texture saline et fluide, épicée, tertiaire et sans envergure mais tenace ;-)

  November 12, 2016 - Best Bottle Red in Lucerne without a theme (Hopfenkranz in Lucerne): First impression was BX, for me over his peak, drinkable but missing a "fruity" middle palate, good acidtity giving the wine his backbone, some lovage, middle finish, this bottle comes from a perfect case but anyway it was over his best life

  March 14, 2015 - This is a beautiful, mature Margaux that is all about faded black fruits, charcoal and tobacco. Soft and silky with all the tannins long gone, it remains complex and delicious.
