  October 9, 2023 - It needed a bit of time to open up but then it showed very nice old Bordeaux flavors (smoke, mushroom, plum, tobacco, cacao).
  A complex and multi layered nose. Thinner in the mouth but decent length.
  It won’t get any better, glad to open this one now (from magnum)

  August 15, 2023 - Wow! Super pure focused raspberry and strawberry. Beautifully balanced delicate fruit versus softening structure that still provides lift and grip. This has an ethereal weight that seems weightless but actually there is power and weight here. There is an addictive smoky tar on the finish. Long and complex. Drinking beautifully now, won't improve but will hold for years.

  October 22, 2021 - Light, bright, and fully developed, the wine is much more interesting on the crushed rock, tobacco, earth, spice and red plum nose than on the medium-bodied, stony, earthy, bright red berry palate.
