December 23, 2018 - Pretty much in line with previous note. Full profile, big fruit with meat, herbs and liquorice. Definitely smoother and more balanced than last bottle, exceeded my expectations.

April 30, 2018 - A bit dryad uninspiring on the nose. Tasted much better with nice mature tones of stable, hay and autumn. Will not improve further with ageing.

March 20, 2015 - Dark heavy fruit, plums, worn leather, coffee and dark chocolate. Still very young, will need a lot of time to be really interesting. Solid.

March 15, 2015 - Beau vin rendu à maturité. Harmonieux, d'un bel équilibre avec de la présence, des arômes de fruits rouges et des tanins arrondis. Montre des notes d'évolution et du charme. Prêt à boire. Très bon.

November 27, 2013 - Decanted 30 minutes and sampled over the following hour. Works well with a steak, but not sufficiently balanced to merit a higher score. Overpowered by oak. Doesn't seem to improve after breathing. OK on the second day but doesn't come together or improve in any way.
Revisited another 2 days later - it actually hold on, and may have improved a bit - this sample was stored in a small glass bottle (187ml) sealed with a screw cap.
Somewhat disappointed with this now but it should improve with another 3-4 years of bottle age. Patience.1 person found this helpful Comment
