November 12, 2023 - A magnificent Mas de Daumas Gassac vertical from the private cellars of Allard Jakobs (Restaurant Sinck, Amsterdam, NL): Single bottle. Slightly dusty nose, crushed red berries, ripe and juicy, elegant and flowing, hint of red meat, complete, sandy tannins. Lovely. It reminded me of Canon-la-Gaffelière.
October 6, 2023 - Lunch at De Librije *** with Hermanos. Not tired or on its last legs at all. The sommelier (Therèse) told me the wine was kept in the restaurants cellars since the end of the last century. Lively colour not showing its age, beautiful smell and serious taste; intellectual. Paired well with with the venison steak. Very reasonable QPR. If cellared well, still some years to go.
May 21, 2023 - Still drinkable but certainly on its last legs. Drink up
