  January 21, 2024 - Second day sample. Same bottle as JVIZ. Held together quite well. Blinded I thought this was a ‘90 Right bank. Melded integrated tannins. Nice Smokey nose with tobacco notes. Quite good.

  January 20, 2024 - Showing nicely and held together into the second day in the bottle. This shows warm, red bricked notes with sun kissed fruit. Therefore emblematic of the vintage, but I would’ve perhaps, leaned toward the right bank, suspecting a higher percentage of CF and perhaps Merlot. It has held together beautifully, remains in balance, and a lovely wine to have with some steaks.Maybe a little musty on the pop, but that seemed to blow off in this case

  December 19, 2023 - Christmas Wimps 2023 - Clean Bandit (La Trompette): Wow - with each succeeding wine we are reaching greater heights. This is fully mature, some tertiary characteristics and a hint of camp-fire but with a pencil-line of precision going through the middle of it. A lovely wine caught at its peak.

  December 14, 2023 - Christmas Wimps (La Trompette, Chiswick): 8/12, quietly aromatic, red and black fruit, gravelly mineral, touch of antique furniture. Medium bodied, notably lean after the previous wines, but in a good, if slightly old-fashioned way, fully resolved, fresh acids, sneaky length. Excellent, drinking well, I can’t see any upside from here but should be fine for 5 years or so at least.

  December 14, 2023 - Christmas Cornucopia WIMPS #172 14th December 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Green pepper, tobacco and a little torn tarragon here with air some suggestions of cigar box and a couple of ppm of red currant jelly sweetness. Palate so well balanced with a charming savouriness, tannins are so fine. Delightful. With time in the glass there are hints of marzipan and blood orange. Neck and neck for wine of the lunch for me.
