October 5, 2023 - Last bottle of a case we bought 10 years ago. Each bottle progressively got better-and-better over the past few years, and this may be entering (or in) a peak window. Consistent with past notes: rich, rustic, and balanced. This has never been the most complex wine, but it has been one of the most consistently graceful wines as it has aged in our collection. We will miss this one. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 93.

March 26, 2023 - What a powerful wine now! Improved since my last bottle, 1.5 years ago. I double decanted about 3 hours before drinking. Extremely dark wine, masculin, full bodied. Iˋm pretty sure it can be drank over the next 10 years.

December 31, 2022 - Colour: Dark purple / black reddish brown edge
Nose: Blackberries, menthol, pencil shavings / cigar box, lavender, star anise
Palette: Blackberries, lavender, menthol, chocolate, liquorice, pepper, star anise
Very rich palette and nice long finish that still has an acidic backbone making the wine seem younger than it's years. Probably means it has a good life ahead of it as well.
Very nice wine. -

August 14, 2022 - This is throwing a good bit of sediment, some quite fine, so a decant is in order. Smooth and pleasant, drinking well. Very merlot. This bottle showed less development and was a bit less distinctively Bordeaux than a bottle last year.

May 16, 2022 - Consistent with past tastings - this keeps improving. Decanted an hour ahead of leftover mixed grill. A deep core of blackberries, chocolate cherries, green pepper, and coffee mocha is encapsulated by persistent acidity and gritty tannins. Not super complex but well done in the rustic style. Will be best 2023-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.
