  February 22, 2020 - An easy afternoon with close friends (@ My place): In the bouquet vanilla, some smoke, green herbs and slightly unripe impressions. On the palate red and dark berries, firm and good acidity and some rustic impressions. Some iron, oak and relatively mild tannin. Full bodied and also elegant.

  December 13, 2019 - My most enjoyable 2006 to date and what a relief, at last. Too much oak but nice dark fruit as well. Delicate, ready, not the most nuanced but well integrated.

  December 15, 2018 - very nice with typical margraux aroma on the nose, oaky, violet with hints of fruits. however, it is a bit over oak on the palate with lack of complex structure, but it turns better after a few hours. long dry finishing. enjoyable but not too impressive for this value. good to drink now and dont think it has much aging potential.

  May 24, 2017 - Classic margaux floral nose but a bit tight and tannic on the palate. I think this still needs plenty of time.
  Lots of fruit and medium structure. Not the greatest vintage but not bad.

  November 14, 2016 - Fine boned yes but not stingy as l had feared. Evovling pleasantly. Adequate ripeness. I think this may even acquire more charm over the next decade.
