  March 15, 2024 - Dark ruby colour. Very fruit forward, powerful .On palate, cherry, raspberry, plums some notes of liquorice and coffee.
  Long final, you keep all the fruits in the mouth for a long time.
  Though the wine is still young, it can be enjoyed as it is.

  March 5, 2024 - From a bottle bought at retail and accessed by Coravin. This showed lots of glass-coating, tart red fruits infused with heavy wood tannins. It rounded out a bit with air and was fairly approachable, showing excellent acidity, bags of ripe tannins, and good balance, but it was a bit nondescript at this point; one smallish glass was plenty. The wood tannins worry me a bit. They make me wonder if there is much behind them. I’ve run into a few lower-end 2020s with exactly this profile. I’m not convinced at this point. 14% ABV.

  February 15, 2024 - Notes of cherry and blackberry fruit, some mocha, good minerality and fine tannins. I only opened this bottle about 1/2 hours ago so I am not sure how it will evolve. It is easy to enjoy now, but certainly will be better after a few more years in the bottle.

  November 23, 2023 - Brief tasting note: bright red cherry, cassis, mocha, sandal wood, layered creamy mid palate and a clean and focused finish. This is still pretty tight right now best in 5+ years.

  May 12, 2023 - Slow oxed for a few hours. Probably should have done it earlier. Really deep ruby-violet color, showing off its vibrant youth. Smoky and meaty on the nose. Notes of sandalwood, licorice, some menthol, cassis, red fruit. Rich, juicy, and fruity on the palate. Lots of blackberries, plums, and raspberries laced with sweet spices like cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Some leather, tobacco, and crushed gravel on the mid palate, ending with a long dark chocolate, salinic finish with traces of blackberry. Vibrant acidity that balances out the fruit, with fine-grained, round tannins. A hedonistic and thoroughly enjoyable right bank Bordeaux. The Neipperg family never disappoints.
