Last of ten bottles. Not decanted. Kept under condition 2 since september 2013 (see my profile). At last the tannins are about sufficiently resolved and the wine presents itself as rather balanced and tasty. Still better at the third day than at the first one. 86-87.

Corlor: very dark ruby. Nice, fruity nose with plum and blackberry. The taste followed the nose, with also a hint of herbs. It seemed covered with a numb, a little bit astringent layer, of tannins, that I have noticed with more Bordeaux from 2009 and 2020. Tannins were still more resolved than with my last tasting of this wine in april 2022. When I would have one more bottle, I would have taken the chance to find out whether further keeping of one or two, maybe more years would unvail this wine. 87.

Color: very dark ruby-purple. Nose: cigar-box. Taste: blackberry. At the third day after at least half an hour nice mature notes. Still some drying tannins. With 14% the alcohol was a but burning. Best to keep for one more year. 87(-88).

A bit more mature than last time, with black fruit, but still with some drying tannins. Decent, stylish Medoc at this stage, but with 14% to much alcohol for me. Best to keep it for at least one year. Will it appear as good as it was promising in barrel? 87-88.
