February 11, 2024 - Agree with deaddeadwine, drinking wonderfully, classic aged Loire Cab Franc, green peppers and a touch of coffee, tertiary but still extremely enjoyable. Acidity is still significant so a longer life is very possible. $35 for a 24-year old wine of this quality is amazing.

July 28, 2023 - Really delicious, a hit with all at table. Everyone was amazed that one could purchase this now for $35.
Quite savory with mostly tertiary elements present. Not a ton of fruit remaining, but enough. Only 12.5% alcohol, so quite light-bodied. Old-school wine. THIS IS NOT A WINE FOR THE BIG-FRUIT CROWD OR NEOPHYTES.
In a word - excellent. Great accompaniment to grilled pork tenderloin with grilled polenta. -

February 15, 2022 - Dark ruby, with only slight bricking at the edges. Earthy, with suggestions of tobacco and just a (pleasant) touch of green/ bell pepper. Integrated and quite smooth, but with sufficient acidity to keep it lively. Not quite as impressive as the 1989 — yet still, very enjoyable over three nights.
