  October 13, 2023 - Celebration for Oct babies: Guessed 2009/10 modern, awful right-bank. Hit all the wrong notes for me, ripe extracted fruit, zero finesse, obnoxious oak, chocolate and liquorice notes. Usually I try to be polite at dinners but this was so bad I couldn't hold in how bad this was. Easily the worst wine for the price that I have tasted this year.

  March 3, 2023 - Old friends late night at home. Drank in Grassl 1855.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of milky oak, black plums, blackberries, stewed blackcurrrant fruit. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (15%), velvety smooth integrated high tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of intense blackberries, stewed blackcurrant, black plums, deep blueberries, milky vanilla oak. Long velvety plush Merlot finish.
  Very good quality in that particular style. Good time to drink already. Not likely to improve any much more I feel.

  November 30, 2021 - A birthday celebration at Wimborne. Already Bordeaux decanted back into bottle 4hours beforehand. Drank over 2+ hours in Grassl 1855.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Coarse sediment towards end of bottle. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of milk chocolate, dark toast oak, black cherries, blackberries, blueberries. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (15%), rounded high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of milk chocolate, black cherrries, blackberries, blueberries, dark spicy oak toast, sweet spices. Long big finish.
  Very good quality. Lots of oomph and pomp. Likely to remain at this place for a while. Not sure how much better it can get than this. Not my current preferred style.

  November 13, 2021 - Ch. Tertre Roteboeuf 2009: Hedonisme i ei flaske. Ikke som nudistferie på Jamaica, heller som modne moreller, kaffe, oliven, vanilje, mild søt eik, spice, treverk. Lag på lag, bang bang, diggness på diggness. Fint tanninbitt på en lang utgang, litt - som i litt - alkovarme, likevel bortimot sjokkert da jeg så 15% oppgitt på flaska.
  
  Flott frukt men litt ubalansert dag 1, etter 24t i kjøleskap har ting falt veldig, veldig fint på plass.

  March 13, 2021 - Decanted for over 2 hours; medium bodied, earthy notes on the nose, particularly cedar. Licorice and cedar flavors, long finish with mocha notes. Drinks well now.
