January 16, 2021 - I don’t see the high scores in this wine that others do. Decanted for a couple hours and just didn’t seem to change, not too complex. Hopefully the next will show something more.

January 11, 2021 - The highest score i have ever given a wine. I am not sure what 99 or 100 pointers look or taste like, but i guess i'll know it when i taste it... I presume this could go higher than 98. My favourite wine in my cellar.
My review:
Just amazing. Rich and creamy. Voluptuous but still elegant. VS said can drink now, but will likely only get better! (She also said the 2010 is a hold and not to open yet even to try!)
Rob's:
Like great claret, but something else - fresher fruit maybe, but rich and creamy, but still very refined and elegant and classic claret savoury notes. A whole new taste.1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

December 1, 2020 - An almost perfect Bordeaux wine. Bottle very well kept. It’s a wine that can be drunk now or probably in soma decades as well, because of incredible balance. Dark nose with cassis, smoke, graphite and even some very fresh notes. Palate rich but with great balance not overwhelming and very coherent with nose, blackcurrants dominates palate. Long and incredibly balanced .
