August 2, 2023 - Light bodied.
1-2 hrs open bottle
Dried red berry, earthy, mushrooms, minerality at end
Not too complex. Makes for weekday wine
February 8, 2023 - Nose: Sweet tobacco, soft floral notes, musty earthiness, faint dried cherry. Palate: Balanced and light-bodied; earthy cherry that lingers in the background, grainy tannins, plenty of acid; faintest bit of yeasty honeysuckle on the finish. Was still good on day two suggesting that there's still plenty of life left.
January 21, 2023 - I fear this may have passed its prime, or is very close to it. Still enjoyable and reasonably priced. But it feels thin compared to prior tastings.
October 17, 2022 - Very stiff at first, but given 2-3 hours breathing it came into it's own. Beautiful colour and surprisingly light on the palette.
March 12, 2022 - Opened up after 20-30 mins - excellent
September 18, 2021 - This was pretty rubbish. Thin, green and weedy - the bad side of the 2007 vintage, or perhaps like a poor-quality Chinon. We didn't have with food, but I don't think it would have particularly helped if we had done.
August 13, 2021 - Old-school Bordeaux, opens up with a nose of cedar, smoke, olives. Lean in structure, almost chalky, with marks of dark fruit, leather, smoke, pencil shavings (I eat and drink pencil shavings often). The Cabernet Franc is obvious here and provides a green note, veggies. Susanne didn’t really care for this, but I love it. Not sure this will improve from here, but it will last for many years.
May 18, 2021 - Classic Bordeaux, even if a bit on the light side. Earthy at first, becomes thin if you let it stand in the glass.
April 10, 2021 - Lovely wine, typical Bordeaux, earth, chocolate and berries, but the taste is not very strong; drink 2021 or early 2022.
April 3, 2021 - Quite a streng taste for this vigtige at this point in time. Notes of chocolade
