October 17, 2022 - Geopend op mijn verjaardag 2022. Prachtige cru uit 1998! De wijn is nog zeer levendig en vitaal. Rood-paarse kleur met een bruin randje, dichte kern. In de neus, gepofte kastanje, rokerig, notig, bacon en als fruit zwarte bessen en parika, beetje graniet en kruidig met witte peper, maggi. Lichte vanille tinten. Het smaakpallet is zacht, elegant en evenwichtig, met frisse, strakke zuren en mooi verpakte tannines. Minder fruit dan je uit de impressie van de neus zou verwachten, wat paprika, gedroogd fruit en munt. Ook in de mond kruidig, maar nu tinten van kaneel en kruidnagel, tikkeltje gember. Beetje stroeve afdronk met behoorlijke tannines.

March 18, 2022 - Interesting. I recently purchased this and it had obviously been kept very well. Almost perfect fill level. Upon opening, it really seemed very muted and just quite boring. Decanted and it improved after two hours and I gave it a total of 6 hours. Really very lovely. Seemed more like 14 years old than 24. This particular bottle could have gone on for another ten years.

October 2, 2021 - Such a reliable second wine, it is always a delight to drink and has the structure to last. This was no exception and as with the Las Cases from 1998, it is surprising in its quality in a vintage that belonged to Graves and the right bank.
