  March 23, 2019 - Quite fresh. Dark fruit, some noticeable oak. Reminiscent of modern Rioja for some reason. This is quite good, needs meat I think.

  February 12, 2019 - Coravin tasting. Followed a 2016 Luxembourg riesling.
  Fruity nose, a touch jam-like but still quite elegant. On the palate it's quite ripe now, with some Rhone character. Long finish. Some hints of liquorice and violet also. Still quite young. Could easily fool me into thinking this was 2014+. The nose is more Bordeaux like but the palate is Rhone. Quite dry, needs some food.
  Even better with some Abondance cheese. The palate is more complex now with the fruit nicely balancing the cheese protein.

  August 31, 2018 - No formal notes - over dinner. From magnum next to 2013. More expressive on the nose - notes of cured meat, spices, dark fruit, garrigue. Very open and quite generous on the palate. Unobtrusive tannins, harmonious, medium length. Very nice. No rush drinking up. 89-91?

  October 13, 2014 - Weekly tasting group #138; Rothschild (@ WW): The bouquet is still locked, but there are dark forest fruits and mocha. On the palate ripe red berry fruits like strawberry and also ripe black fruits. A touch of metal, brown spiced biscuit, mild acidity and tannin. Ok wine but I am not overly impressed. Maybe with some more age on it?? 87+ for tonight.

  May 1, 2012 - Dark, bloody, savoury and oaky. A bit forced perhaps. Certainly correct. Nothing special for the price at this point. Maybe it will grow into something subtle and complex but currently just not that fun. 16+?
