  December 5, 2021 - Ondanks 20 jaar op de teller zeer lekker. Qua kleur al vrij geëvolueerd zonder op geur en smaak te hebben ingeboet.
  Mooi rond en evenwichtig. Topwijntje voor bij de ragout van everzwijn.
  Helaas laatste fles.

  January 28, 2021 - Checking in on this 20 year old with braised short ribs and pappardelle, and it's still drinking well and a great pairing. Tannins are pretty integrated now, though now that I'm past dinner and standalone sipping, I'm getting a little grip. Bricking garnet color with transparency. Aromas of roses, tar, fennel, dry spices, black tea, and maple syrup. Medium (+) body, acid, and finish, with flavors of high toned red fruits, lemon, orange peel, spice, and minerals. This is a great wine, although I'm not quite as high on it as the last bottle 8 years ago.

  May 22, 2020 - shared with pat at selkirk manor. celebrating the completion of another week of staying in place/sipping in place due to covid-19. i continue to pull bottles from the cellar with past due drink by dates. even though some sources projected further longevity, lack of recent feedback from other tasters prompted me to see what was going on with this wine. the wine proved to be very substantial. deep purple color. generous fruit on the nose. complex mouth feel and taste profile. coffee, chocolate, earth, dark skin fruit. firm structure. drinking very well now. doesn't look or taste like a nineteen year old bottle. will probably continue to show well for several more years. a nice find from lbw. will look for more recent vintage.
