Another recent release bottle. Much sweeter than the last. Amazing condition.

A perfect bottle from the Chateau. Amazing energy and improved over 3 hours with a decant. Dark fruit, red fruit, mushrooms, stone and earth. Long finish with verve.

The best bottle of this I have ever tasted resonated with its mint and floral charm. Pure silk on the palate made the perfect backdrop for its wealth of cherries, plums, and truffles that gracefully crossed and filled your palate. What a treat! Drink from 2023-2040.

Surprisingly vibrant. Leather and earth were the strongest notes, but there was still plenty of fruit alive here. Really enjoyable

Elegant, refined, supple and silky, the patina of age comes with floral scents, tobacco, cigar box, cherry pipe tobacco, truffle and coffee notes. As good as the nose is, the sensual nature of the wine on the palate is even better!
