Vintage 2014 | half a year ago I wrote: this needs more time. 90 Malbec 10 Tannat 16 m barrel aging 1/3 new | Today I am very happy: explosion of cherries in smell and a velvety taste. Very comforting. Paired with comté, fromage de truffle and parmesan | second day with venison steak — a year ago
Birthday year wine for me. So far, I’ve aged better than this bottle but it’s close! The ‘88 is slightly past its prime but still worth tasting. In the garden of earthly delights - dried figs, plums, dates, and mushrooms. Some peat and chocolate. Plenty of spice. Very fun. Happy birthday to me! — 3 months ago

A day opened from another dinner, and shared during our cheese course. Honestly didn't focus much on this wine after the insane Comté and 13' Les Chalasses Marnes Bleues pairing. Plus, let's not forget about the battering of Rieslings that came before. One taste and I knew this just didn't have a fighting chance during the night. Too rich and creamy to match the energy of the Rieslings, yet not quite rich enough to match the 09' Lafon Perrieres. Nothing wrong per say, but it was just so average among the other wines of the night. Another one to look into again on better circumstances. — 2 years ago

I enjoyed this more than the top cru. If you like oak, you’ll enjoy it even more. — 9 days ago
