1/3/2021 - racerchris Likes this wine: 90 pointsRather enjoyable considering that its been in bottle for just 6 months or so. Quite juicy, with strong but not harsh tannins and no excessive new oak. Lower acidity. |

9/26/2020 - bboard wrote: NRTasting portion daily for 7 days (recork + fridge). Lots of black fruit, cigar, herby/mint. Wine is unbalanced with tannin overpowers the fruits at every stage over 7 days. Towards the ends, fruits starts to fade while tannin is still significant. Don't know if tannin will resolve faster or fruit fades faster in the long run. |

12/20/2020 - ohne_musik wrote: 91 pointsWho said that ‘17 is a weak vintage? Nose announces a serious St Estephe, through and through. Pencil lead, ash, and sour plum buried deep below. Palate is medium bodied and poised, but saturated with cigar ash, black fruit with red at the edges, a whiff of mint, a slug of overt oak, and ripe stoic tannins. At 13.2% this comes across as fairly classic, with just a hint of gloss from the oak. Needs time to integrate but I think it’s as good as the ‘16 or nearly so. 91++ |

It’s also what it doesn’t appeal to me: low acid, lacking in terroir, and just too eager to please. Regardless, it’s in spot where the tannins are supple but all the primary fruit is still showcased. |

12/12/2020 - brasstab Likes this wine: 94 pointsLuscious. Deep, dark but also elegant. All the requisite elegance and energy of a great Bordeaux, with a lingering peppery finish. Just gorgeous. Served, appropriately, with French cuisine from a local joint called Cafe Bizou. |

Beautiful round merlot fruit filled with bright cherry and red currant. Lovely Cru Bourgeois from St Estephe. Definitely worth a try, superb! Going to give my other bottles 4 years and they should hit their stride beautifully. |

12/2/2020 - pinkhouse Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally different than 2 years ago with the fruit coming to the forefront and the tannins subsiding to make a terrific weekday drink. Insanely delicious for the cost, yet required patience. Much better, as of now, than the 2010. Time will tell. |

11/29/2020 - Fre Likes this wine: 89 pointsIn the nose some licorice and coffee nicely integrated in the black Forrest fruit. Well balanced with good length. Can lie for some years but will it still improve a lot? Don’t know. And I never will. This was my last bottle. |

11/27/2020 - macaujames Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis is not to the level of the multidimensional 2009. It has aromas of iron and chocolate infused blackberries, cassis, plums and spice. Its medium bodied a bit foursquare yet opulent black, blue and red fruits palate has nice freshnesss, a good oaky fruity middle and ends longish, fresh and dry. 14%. Needs 4-5 hrs aeration. Lay down 5 years. |

11/20/2020 - pgrzesik Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis was a fantastic value Bordeaux from a great vintage. We opened this and it was full of notes of dark cherries, dark chocolate, and hints of eucalyptus. The palate is medium to full bodied, good depth, and a nice mouth feel. It has decent complexity and a great taste. We had this with home made pizza and pasta and it was a perfect combination. I am not much of Bordeaux drinker - but this was very pleasant, elegant, and overall delicious. Would absolutely buy again. |
