Presque 2 ans depuis dernière bouteille. Ma note de janvier 2022 s’applique tout à fait. Le vin semble être sur son plateau de maturité, avec encore du fruit mais aussi des arômes plus secondaires. Excellent.

Glorious Waterside Inn (The Waterside Inn, Bray): Great wine and one to hunt down. Testament to this is that it followed in the wake of the magical 1985 Beychevelle ( Papies 96) and sang too. Decanted and served and it was singing from start and impressively how ready it is now. Rad fruits, soft dark edge , just turning secondary, just so good at this stage as the fruit has a good weight and life and drives the wine forward. Granted this has a lot of life ahead but it’s just exceptional now showing a younger face but ever so welcoming. 95-96 and a wine to look for.

An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): Deep and exclusive bouquet with cherries, dark berries, toast, smoke and vanilla. Same on the palate, beautiful dark fruits, laurel, licorice, complexity, beautifully fresh acidity and a touch of sweetness. Beautifully round tannin with a soft bite. Expressive. The wine is still developing for the better.

Right Bank Bordeaux Tasting: Tasted single blind. Good nose, black fruit. Maybe a touch of volatile acidity on the backend?

Served with Turkey at Thanksgiving dinner. Abit light for the turkey pairing.
