  March 30, 2024 - We had this wine with braised lamb, broccolini, and sauteed spinach. The wine was surprisingly open and velvety. There was no sense of dustiness. Instead, the wine felt fresh, complex, and balanced.

  March 27, 2024 - Served blind and guessed it correctly. Very enjoyable bottle. I really like where this is at right now.

  January 7, 2024 - This was the first bottle of the last of three cases brought en primeur. I’d say this was one of the best bottles we’ve tasted. Still plenty of tannin and fruit and very little amber at the rim. Needed a decent decant and started to open up after a couple of hours. Very classic in style and still on the austere side in my view. I think my remaining 11 bottles have a long life ahead if I can stop drinking them too quickly. Drank alongside a GPL 1996 which was soft and open which was an interesting contrast to this wine. Very enjoyable.

  December 24, 2023 - Started as a typical aged Bordeaux. Expected to open and evolve but instead became somewhat one dimensional. Paired with tenderloin which worked well. A good bottle but not one I would buy again

  November 25, 2023 - From magnum. Classic Bordeaux nose with cassis, tobacco, forest floor, and cherries, Good acidity on the palate with red and dark fruit, tart berries, a hint of leather, and some spice notes. Nice finish. A lovely, very classic wine that's drinking really well right now.
