  May 29, 2021 - Half-soaked cork. Silty sediment. Initial funky nose upon decanting. An hour later... fully mature colour of ruby red with a garnet and orange tinged rim. Only slight funk remaining on the nose. More so lovely aromas of soft leather, cedar, dried cranberry, dried cherry, dried herbs, sous bois, and red plum. Refined, old school wine! The palate follows the nose with dried red fruits and herbs, touches of licorice, sandalwood, compost and saddle leather fill out the medium bodied and sweet impression of fruit. No tannins left - just a perfect blending of structure. This is a beautiful, beautiful wine. Long, dry, smooth, dried red fruit, clean finish. Sophisticated and sensual at the same time!

  April 2, 2020 - Still a ruby ​​color but with a rim that begins to change color. The nose is very beautiful with notes of balsam, cigar box, red cherries and a hint of tobacco. In the mouth there is a nice acidity but the tannins are still a little too present. A wine that needs another 5 years to be at its best. But I don't think it will reach the level of 1997 99 or 2001. It lacked concentration in the mid-palate.

  December 31, 2019 - Full garnet with a burnt orange rim. Nose is initially quite funky but that soon blew off. Utterly enthralling nose. Very complex. Oak aged cherries, old leather, slight merde, dried red berries, dried herbs and more on the nose. Silky smooth in the mouth. Dried cherry and cranberry, leather, cedar bark, warm red dust and tingly tannins enrobe your entire mouth. Very dry finish that is quite long and surprisingly still a bit tannic.

  December 25, 2019 - Purple with a brown edge. The nose is earthy blue and black fruit. Currant dominates the nose. The palate is consistent. The finish is a touch tart. 5+12+16+8=91
