  December 16, 2016 - leicht säuerlich, öffnet sich aber nach 1-2 Stunden, ein starker kräftiger St. Emilion, Noten von überreifen Erdbeeren werden überlagert von Johannisbeeren in Sahnebisset, Mineralität und feine Würze... vielleicht sogar noch zu jung, stark!

  November 9, 2015 - Decanted for about 1 hour in advance. A good, but not great bottle. A little disappointing given the vintage and my previous experience. Could be bottle variation, or it could be a little out of its drinking window.

  May 30, 2015 - Merlot 78%, Cabernet Sauvignon 1%, Cabernet Franc 21%. In perfect condition now with the qualities of the vintage and cepage. Not a great wine but a reminder of the value in mature claret away from big names and trophy wines.

  September 28, 2014 - Medium/deep garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows ripe plum, strawberry, plenty of soil, touch of spice and a hint of tea. Not overly complex but showing a nice combination of ripe fruit and soily complexity. Medium/full bodied on the palate, plum, black cherry, soft tannins, soil, touch of tea, decent acidity carrying a good length finish with a slight tannic signature still showing on the tail end. Excellent, mature, should hold for a few years but not sure it will get much better.
