December 23, 2021 - First time with this wine which was a recommendation of a dinner companion at Atera. It has developed a bit of a cult following and so I understand was at one point quite reasonable to purchase and has since become quite a bit more expensive. It holds up to the new price relatively well though. There's a lot of life to it (sounds like much more life than the previous note - I would say this has another 10+ years easy to it). Perhaps a bit almost heavy or extra fruity and would benefit from a few more years and time. But lovely and went great with the red meat courses.

March 30, 2019 - For sure one sees the elegance of this wine and purity but unfortunately in the case of this bottle is an elegance of a few years ago. The nose had a light oxidation and a honey/syrup feel and a bit of a let down as in the palate the wine is very soft and elegant fully matured and tertiary. No point in rating

November 28, 2018 - This lived up to it’s cult status. Great mature wine with impeccable balance. Some spice, balanced oak, cherry. Wow.

December 1, 2017 - La plus belle bouteille des 3.. largement supérieure aux autres. Le tout est très bien balancé entre le fruit mûr/cuit et la touche tertiaire de poussière avec un peu de boite a cigare.. Excellent!
