    March 10, 2024 - Got left over from the night before and store it in a 375ml glass bottle and pump argon gas over it. The notes I got was even more pronounced than yesterday with nose of flora, violet, blackfruits, leather, mushroom, toast. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is velvety and smooth. Long finish.

    March 9, 2024 - Bought a magnum from Auction with no label. Only the cork is visible with the Petrus logo and vintage 1983.

    Magnum bottle is in pristine bottle condition; high ullage. 3-5cm below cork. The cork doesn’t have any mould or it look rather clean to me. Make me very suspicious whether it’s genuine? Since theres so many fake going around and it’s not difficult to find a Magnum Petrus cork.

    The notes I got was pronounced nose intensity of flora, violet, blackfruits, leather, mushroom, toast. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is velvety and smooth. Long finish.

    November 17, 2023 - I big disappointment, no fruit, no acid, nothing enjoyable in this wine, I expected much more, even if you know some 83 are really great. Maybe it was a fake bottle or it was too late to open.

    November 8, 2023 - Slightly reductive aromatics. Somewhat dilute palate.

    March 6, 2018 - Not a perfect bootle, no fruit, blurred, maybe creeping cork, no chance against Petrus 1993, no rating
