December 10, 2023 - excellent! purchased from auction and I assume was stored well as it's drinking in it's prime as of now. no rush to open but why not??

August 13, 2022 - Impressions of ripe dark berries, chocolate, cedar and toasty oak on the nose. The palate is full-bodied with powerful sweet black fruit, quite tannic still and also with obvious oak influence. Quite low acidity but there is some freshness in form of green flavors and juicy fruit. Very, very extracted. Obviously another modern take on St. Emillion and thus not my preferred style, but certainly an ambitious wine. 16+/20
August 6, 2022 - This must have been a very decent wine a few years back. Today it is way past it's prime. Color has faded and bricking and loys of barnyard aroma. Not sure if this is an off bottle, but the cork was in great shape.
August 3, 2022 - Ok, so you have 93 point wines which you rate 93 because they are well made, correct and cerebral but actually not that nice to drink. Then you have 93 point wines which are lip smacking delicious and draw you back for another glass. Previously comment covers off this wine, ie typical 09 flavours of caramel and creme de cassis with fresh oak on the nose. I would buy more given the chance. Feels like there is no hurry to drink this wine, but at a good stage of development also.
May 13, 2022 - Beautiful nose of creme de cassis and vanillin new oak. Medium-full bodied, this is rich, round and plush. Still has sturdy tannins, but they are mostly resolved. This could accompany a steak, but is also quite nice on its own. Just absolutely delicious, this is loaded with creme de cassis as well as milk dark chocolate with a dash of sea salt! This is really quite delicious right now. Drink now-2027 93
January 4, 2022 - Sister of the corked bottle - bought together. Excellent Emilion, powerful, but not overreaching, smooth drink and palate. Just disappointed the other one was not as good.
January 4, 2022 - Bottle was slightly corked though the cork itself was in a perfect condition. After being decanted improved a bit. Kept it for almost 8 years in wine fridge so storage was “controlled”
October 12, 2021 - Medium/full-bodied, soft, silky, fresh, earthy and floral, there is sweetness and depth to the fruit, and the right amount of polish to the tannins, providing an elegant, silky experience. Close to f-mature, no decanting needed, drink this over the next 10-15 years.
September 26, 2021 - Mature. Medium bodied. Fully evolved tannins. Delicious right from the bottle.
