  This case will not last long… bottle three of twelve. Similar to last bottles. Black currant, plum, cherry, floral notes, light bell pepper, light coffee, spices, leather, tobacco, herbaceous notes, and a mineral aspect, with good acidity, mostly resolved tannin, and very good length. Very balanced, and very “Bordeaux” in a traditional sense. Consistent on day two. Worked well with a variety of food, including steak and pizza. Great Bordeaux!

  BBQ with Britta and Martin at our house. First bottle of a 12-case I bought at auction about a few weeks ago (€58/bottle). Dark ruby colour. Black currant, dark cherry, floral notes, light bell pepper, light herbaceousness, cedar, tobacco, some coffee, earthy notes, graphite, complex spice notes, and pebbly minerality, with good acidity, fully resolved tannin, and building length. Medium-bodied, somewhat lean, and smoothly textured. A very good claret.! At peak, drink now.
