Finally coming into its own. Shedding its high alcohol burn and drinking nicely. Vanilla, cherry on the nose.

Surprised by this wine. . .many of the DeNegoce wines I find are just "ok" but given the price point, fine. This wine was excellent. Noticed the light color (close to a pinot) and nice floral nose. Drinking was a full bodied, well appointed cab.

One of my all time favorite wines. The 2017 did not disappoint. Deep purple color, cool menthol/mint on noise. Nice but muted tannins and a long finish.

I thought I liked this wine. . don't know if I got a bad bottle or what but it was flat and uneventful. Didn't even finish it.

I did not like this wine at all. It was soft, sweet with very little nose other than sugary.

Very good wine. Was better the first night. The second night it softened to the point that I didn't care for it.

One of my favorites. Has many more years left. Great tannins, full nose of berry, cedar and slight vanilla. Some musty leave smell from the glass (very pleasant).

Great but young wine. Great color, muted tannins and maybe still settling. Use the Vinturi on day one, day two straight out of the bottle and it was much improved.

Drank with main course for Christmas dinner (2022). Great bottle of wine after decanting for an hour. Got better thru the evening. Nice tannins that are softening. Graphite, touch of menthol. Full berry finish.

I think this is an excellent (esp considering the price) example of a St. Emilion wine. Not sure why the negative scores but it is a solid 91. . .great nose/body, strong tannins that will soften with a decant. And at $13. . I have paid way more for less wine.

hate to say it but this is not going to go much longer. The 2009 still has more life in it. I love this wine but it is getting soft, very little tannins left and very oaky/vanilla coming thru. Still great but drink up.
