February 17, 2024 - Ski trip - Four wino familes; 2/16/2024-2/19/2024 (Wisp Resort): En magnum. Expressive nose displaying ripe black fruit with a hint of red, blackberry jam, blackberry liqueur, mulberry, plum, fruitcake, strong tobacco, leather, dark spices and earth. Very good concentration, generous ripe black fruit, rich and sweet, medium acidity, earthy mineral, and a medium to long ripe black fruit driven finish with tobacco and leather at the end. This is a classic CDP, displaying generous tobacco and leather.

December 29, 2023 - Duller maroon; mulled plum, kirsch, musky red fruit, tart and aged yet still some tannic grip, wilted florals, herbs and funk, in-between age where the sweet fruit is diminished and is it not yet interesting or soft enough to enjoy more, lacking a little balance; age longer; liked this less than the 2015 next to it.

September 8, 2023 - Nose was barnyard. To the taste, it was modern for chateauneuf. Red fruit, smooth finish. Very enjoyable.

August 20, 2023 - still a really big wine, tannins smoothing out but not really developing much.
