April 6, 2024 - The archetypal food friendly Bordeaux. Red fruits with a decent savourybedge. On its own decent but not to get excited about. With rump of lamby and salsa verde, perfect accompaniment.

March 18, 2023 - Nicely resolved mellow claret. Everything as it should be. Moderate on all fronts with decent mature fruit. Food wine, went well with a steak. Ready now but will keep.

October 29, 2022 - Very good wine but a bit disappointing for a second growth. Nice and elegant, with a good balance between fruit and earthy flavours. However, a bit diluted and thin.

April 29, 2022 - Better and less evolved than a previous bottle. Peak maturity, nice perfumed wine with dense red fruits and a touch of forest floor.

February 28, 2022 - First from a case. Nice mature claret, red fruits, a touch of gravel, savoury, good balance. Ready now but will drink well for at least the next five years. No need to keep it longer though.
