December 24, 2023 - Superb Pauillac! A blend of 75% CS, 15% Merlot and 10% CF: Bell pepper, cherry, prune, tobacco leaf, cassis, cigar box, medium plus body, great long finish.

August 18, 2023 - 10th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, in line with last bottle in April 22, good whack of fruit infused with mineral but just a little 4 square compared with Barton and Poyferre 99 on same night, possible upside given energy to fruit, 12+ years. VGI (17).

July 4, 2023 - Decent but a little boring tbh, not sure whether it was a poor bottle or on the decline. Tannins have mellowed, perhaps a bit too much, like there’s no grip at all. Short finish, fruit still present but minimal tertiary flavor development, a bit of graphite is all. Easy to drink but terrible qpr.

June 18, 2023 - Prime late drinking window I think. Don't see it improving - just evolving, but we're not quite at full blown mushroom yet.
