March 24, 2024 - Very much enjoyed my last two bottles of this wine. Still some fruit, very smooth and drank very well. Certainly one to drink now.

December 20, 2023 - Good fruit, black currant, blackberry, dark cherry, herbal notes, leather, tobacco, gingerbread, and spices, with medium-level acidity, round, well-integrated tannin, and good length. Classic profile, with good balance and average concentration. The tannin turns a little rustic on day two, but other than that the wine still drinks well the second night. Classic Bordeaux. Drink now.

November 12, 2023 - Perfectly matured and very enjoyable PL. Noble cask, leather, caramel, chocolate, tobacco, toast, roast aromas. Drink now and over the coming 3-4 years.

August 22, 2023 - Six years after the last bottle, this was interesting to try again: red cherries and cranberries on the nose and palate, with plenty of concentration, still very vigorous. At this stage, it is however lacking in elegance and I found it rather hard work, edging towards a certain stodginess. It could improve, because it certainly tastes very youthful still.
