  2022 Athens Wine Event (CTC , Athens): Tasted blind and we guessed 90s barolo.
  ( third time we try this and never actually impressed us 89-91 range and for the price is sub par and on this occasion divided us with Andreas Scoring this 91 and Nicol 95)
  Difficult to express a TN here as we had 2 totally different experiences and never had we had such.. at least we didn’t have a fight .. 91-95

  Remarkably youthful medium maroon. Glorious nose of red fruit pastilles, floral notes, tea, incense, potpourri, fresh ripe raspberries...Medium+ weight, really coats the tongue, the tannins are present but fine and sweet. Deeply satisfying flavours that track the nose, great, perfumed aromatics as you swallow. The only nitpick is that the finish is very good, but not exceptional.

  Lunch de Noël des anciens de C&S 2019: Nez discret, fruit noir, côté floral. Bouche ronde et aérienne, un fruit mûr mais sans excès, une finale complète, aux tanins fins. Très long et minéral, complet et imposant, un grand vin. Je croyais à un Palmer 96.....94-95 pts

  Deep ruby/ garnet with minimal sediment, this wine is still a youngster with years of life ahead.
  The dark cherry nose mixing with bright berries and spice to deliver a sumptuous tasting experience. The finish lasts 30 seconds
  Not overly complex but not at all simple.
  Delicious Barca Velha!

  2015 Athens Wine Event (Aleria Restaurant, Athens): Is this really it? Such a famous and pricey wine and that all? Well round and still fresh, light violet nose. Lacks any sense of magic. Complexity and length have left the building. Such a dissapointment. 89
