December 12, 2023 - Always a bit under the radar, even my experience with Monbrison was never that outstanding. BUT: the 2000 is really a different game. I would rank this among the best 10 Margaux tastings yet. It’s just the purest expression of what makes Margaux sometimes so magic. From the first moment this wine performs, over hours. Great job, full stop!

May 6, 2023 - wine is definitively over it's peak. pungent barnyard smell and taste, no fruit left. Became a little more approacheable after 1 hour of decanting, but overall I wouldn't recommend purchasing. if you have this wine, either throw away or try at your own risk.

October 30, 2020 - Afterwork blindtasting: Red, brownish edge, high intensity. Relatively mature nose with leather, stable, toasted oak, dark berries in a subtle but concentrated mix. Medium plus acidity. Medium plus tannins, small and sandy polished to velvet. Fruity, integrated oak, leather, black fruit, plums and black currant, beetroots. Taut, concentrated balance. Beautiful!

October 10, 2020 - Totally thrown off tasting this blind. It had these mulled berry and pepper and sun dried tomatoes that made me think mid 2000s California Zinfandel actually. Chewing tobacco and clove and sweet cocoa. Enjoyable but unique to feral in its appeal. A real puzzler to taste blind.

May 28, 2020 - decanted. brambles, blackcurrant, biscuit and plum, earth, leather, forest floor, a little damp cellar, dusty asian spices...it's juicy, fleshy, tannins are still grainy and grippy but integrated and travel with the black fruits, leathery notes on the palate as well. not going to set the world on fire but is pleasing and pleasurable.
