  February 20, 2024 - In memoriam dinner with a couple of friends for my father on what would have been his 98th birthday. The wine was one of the last from the cellar of my friend Art. Service and profile similar to my note of 3-9-2020 except to note that wine started to fade at the end of the meal. It really is time to consume this wine.

  January 13, 2022 - Undrinkable…..ullage was low, cork was disintegrating, poured down the sink.

  November 30, 2021 - High shoulder fill. Cork completely soaked and slippery. Medium garnet colour, some sediment. Red fruit, cherry, black currant, prune, complex spice notes (including Asian spices, cinnamon), leather, tobacco, underbrush, earth, and balsamic notes are joined by a minty note on the finish, with lively acidity, fine, mostly resolved tannin, and very good persistence. Smoothly textured and well-balanced. Very harmonious and complete by day two. Great claret!

  January 31, 2021 - 7 years since my last bottle and this is still alive and kicking. Top shoulder fill, top of cork still dry and clean. Medium garnet, no browning. A fair bit of sous bois, sweet soft fruit, fine+ tannins. Drink up

  October 24, 2020 - Last bottle of the case bought on release; quite brown and it shows an old nose. Flavor is not bad, but it's limping towards the cemetery.
