  December 28, 2023 - Disappointed with this wine, hollow mid pallet, short on the finish, some tannins, smell of cassis, spices, black fruit, does it need more time? At 15 years, rim does not show any sign of aging. Will open a second bottle of three in 5 years. ,

  August 16, 2023 - Decant and wait 3h. 17-19C. With elk
  
  Dry, tart. Opened up a bit with air, but yet another bottle of this case that does not impress.

  December 28, 2022 - 2h decant. Pre dinner in Bdx glas @ 18C. Good spot and balance. Complexity and quite long. Dark, rust, blood. Also green pepper, dark fruits. Brb after dinner….
  
  Gets better with meat and air. Mature notes of meat, blood, dark berries. Not so much leather nor stable. Still Very Bdx left bank.

  August 31, 2022 - One of the first bottles I purchased for aging, in 2009.
  
  1hr decant, which was too short. Decent, solid bdx but was hoping for something more, given the 13 years in the cellar. Acidity was somewhat below expectation.
  
  Better on day 2.

  August 20, 2022 - Opened a bottle tested a glas by Coravin 15th of April. Much better now, calm, balanced and a nice wine. No decant. Riedel Cab glas, at 18-20C.
  
  Acidity on the lower side, good fruit and ok dry tannins. Hard to tell if it is to develop or fade.
  
  Before dinner with cheese and smoked Elk heart - Like the typical bdx that is on the more mature side. Cassis, dark chocolate, dark berries, pencil lead.
  
  With grilled meat it is even better, or more air might have helped.
  
  I think it is entering its drink window, but it will be shorter and still good. I would decant for 3h, and drink from now to 2027.
  
  Surprised how it is becomming a wine I will look forward to!
