  This was also drinking well, but perhaps on its downwards slope. Mushrooms, leather, earth, sous bois, this also showed leathery notes on the palate. Drink up!

  Definitely past it prime, but still quite enjoyable!

  A rich and fruity but funky wine. The 85 seemed a little more vegetal and animal compared to the other wines from this decade.

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Initially upon pouring a bit of damp earth/underground cellar but this blows off to show sous bois, umami, mushrooms, brambles, black fruits leather, earth. Surprisingly, on the palate, it's initially sweetly fruited, brambles then all of the tertiary notes present themselves, grippy tannins are still drying and slight coarse. Flavours persist. Splendid

  A beautiful well aged St. Julien. (A bit dark aromas lead me to Pauillac). Developed aromas with graphite, leather and barnyard. Polished and light weighted on the palate. Lacks some concentration though, and is maybe on decline.
