  March 13, 2024 - Very good too... just a slight whisker behind the Jamet (I felt)... If I recalled correctly, the friend who brought this had "prepared" the wine way in advanced - double-decanting it since the morning...

  March 13, 2024 - Grateful for samples from Tim. Tasted blind. About 2-3 hours of air in bottle already. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance some sediments towards end of bottle, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose medium intensity, with aromas of iron rich earth, dark meat, Chinese herbs, blackberries, black cherries, touch of soy. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, just about high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), resolved fine high tannins full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet dark licorice, black plum, blackberries, black cherries, black pepper, dark spices, dark savoury meat, iron earth minerality, Chinese herbs. Long complex finish.
  Very very good quality. Wonderfully complex palate. My guess was 2009 Hermitage. Good time to drink this already, despite the youthful looking purplish ruby colour.

  May 7, 2023 - 醒酒两个半小时，浑浊的中石榴红色，闻香是草本，雪松，石墨和充分融合的香料感，入口酸度高，酒液非常咸，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻，矿物感突出，草本，黑李子，石墨和胡椒香料，余味梅果，木质气息和香草味。一支处在适饮巅峰期的酒，经典旧世界风格，香气大气深沉， 酸度和结构感漂亮，酒体中等，中后段的表现稍微单薄了一些，感觉还可以展现出更多东西，当然也可能是醒酒时间还不够的原因。总的感觉不是一个大年，有点意犹未尽。

  November 10, 2022 - Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep garnet. On the nose: Pepper, cassis, blood/iron, olive, plum and violets. On the palate: Pepper, dusty tannins, cassis, tapenade, violets, blood and plum. Good length and mouthfeel. These wines are expected to be great. This one is very good. Quality is there it is just a tough vintage.
