8.8

2017 vintage. Light-medium body. Opened, then decanted. Tasted over the course of two hours multiple times at temps between 57-72 degrees. Some raspberry. Some tea flavors. A little dirt/earth. Somewhat disappointing tho...mostly on a thinnish finish. Maybe it's just in a state of transition/dumb phase or an "off" bottle but not obviously neglected or abused. Wasn't expecting the world but was hoping for half a continent. Doesn't even deliver an archipelago. Not a good showing for this premmie cru jooce. Grrr. 4.25.26. — 6 hours ago

I’m torn about rating oxidized wines. On the one hand, could be the producer’s fault. But how to figure out if bad post-sale storage played a role?

2017 vintage. Surprising length of finish that went on and on. Some initial richness up front before the usual, St. Estèphe tannic embrace. 4.23.26. — 2 days ago

2023 vintage. Light body. Could use another year in bottle. Running slightly behind for a decently important engagement. Hope to catch up again on a better day down the road. 4.24.26. — 2 days ago

9.4

1982 vintage. Last tasted 6.1.24 (9.4) and nearly 9 years ago (9.0). Courtesy of Monsieur @Bill Bender. Sweet fill. Opened with a Durand. Cork 95% saturated. A little reticent in the early going and decanted a third of the bottle to see if that would pull the juice out of a sullen funk. It did, so the remainder got decanted whilst throwing much less sed than expected. Medium body still. Slightly brickish and plenty fleshy with well-integrated complexity. Very pleasant and lingering finish. A great bottle with more than could reasonably be expected at this juncture. Thank you, Bill! 4.24.26. — a day ago

@Tom Casagrande @Bill Bender said he tried but the app was down (as it has def been challenging in the last few months).
