    October 14, 2023 - (Decanted for one and a half hour)
    Deep red colour with a brick red hue and showing a lovely mature nose with leather, sous bois and barn with some primary notes of violet sweetness hiding underneath in a very pleasant way. Intense palate showing softened tannins with pleasant primary fruit and showing some herbs on the finish.
    (Best 2019-2029)

    March 16, 2022 - La couleur est pourpre et la robe est super intense. Il n'y a pas tellement de signe d'âge pour moi même si effectivement 18 ans pour Bordeaux ce n'est pas grand chose.

    Au Nez j'avais un petit côté animal/viandeux accompagné de champignons et aussi d'un petit côté terre humide. Niveau fruit j'avais des petites notes assez subtile de cerise. Il faut dire que j'ai carafé seulement 30 minutes avant de prendre mes notes de dégustation.

    En bouche c'est vivant de beaux fruits rouges murs et encore le petit côté animal mais plus subtil qu'au nez. Le cuir est bien présent aussi. Je trouvais qu'il avait des aires de Barolo. Les tannins sont souple mais encore assez présent. Ma conjointe le trouvait 'fort' de part sont astringance mais pour moi ça rentrait bien. Il reste encore une belle dose d'acidité alors je n'ai pas de misère à croire qu'il lui reste plusieurs années devant lui. La longueur est belle. Bien satisfait ! On y retourne demain pour voir comment il évolue :)

    July 8, 2021 - Developed(+) to mature nose with complexity. Medium(+) acidity, medium(+) finegrained tannins, medium(+) body. Complex flavours where oak, dark fruit, sweet black currant, plums and roots stood out. Sandy texture. Eternal length. Full of life and energy. Elegance. Fabulous.

    April 16, 2021 - Still going strong. Not a lot of acidity left, leather on the nose, reddish-brown color. Lovely.

    January 26, 2019 - Very good, aged nicely. Doubtful if it'll improve with further cellaring though
