May 17, 2023 - Amazing Bordeaux To Mark A Special Birthday (Noizé, London): Wow. Nose has a lovely florality to it, a carnation button hole? Some smoky raspberry too, a little torn mint leaf and later some rosebed. Palate is one of the best showings of any wine in the line-up. Multi-layered beautifully resolved tannins, so well balanced and texturally gorgeous. My third favourite wine of the night.

May 15, 2023 - this has a lovely balance to it but is very closed - it needs time and lots of it - should be lovely in five years plus

April 21, 2023 - I am continually amazed at how long Bordeaux must be aged. This wine is good now, but has years ahead.'59 and '61 greats are still drinking well. Only '85 has tasted good from birth, and has experienced no dumb phase. This wine has plenty of tannin and fruit along with adequate acidity. Drink or hold (if you expect to live a while).
