Popped and poured; enjoyed over a red sauce pasta night at home. High shoulder fill, but the cork completely disintegrated during removal. Juice is still drinking exceptionally well; shockingly fresh for being 40. Tons of black fruit and strong spices, with its age showing via expected tobacco and leather notes. Very structured via strong tannins and acidity; long and smooth / velvety finish...meaning this still has room to run. Cheers! — 3 months ago
2016 vintage. Superb, with just the right balance of dryness and flavor — 4 months ago
Dar rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, anise and limestone. Very cabernet in the mouth with the peppery register, rounded up by the ripe Merlot. Great acidity and balance, an excellent bottle just lacking a bit of complexity which is typical of the 2000 bordeaux. — 4 months ago

2018 vintage. Last tasted 8.9.21 (9.3), 2.25.22 (9.3), 3.7.22 (9.4) and 11.19.22 (9.4). Never had much baby fat but even less now and really starting to knit together. Wow. So close to a 9.5. Light-medium/medium body. Mostly front-palate punch still but dusty fruit and tannins transitioning and sliding that driver’s seat back more than a bit. 5.27.25. — 16 days ago
