  June 25, 2023 - Beautiful wine . Wonderful producer. This wine is ready to drink but could be held for another 10 years

  October 7, 2022 - Drinking beautifully right now. Lots of red currents and fruit still prevalent. Well balanced but leaning a bit to the tannic side. Has a hint of earthiness at the finish. A solid wine holding well for a 2009.

  August 14, 2022 - Fruit muted but should be expected with a 12 yo bottle. Good dark color, not too much bricking, with a medium finish and balanced. Leather and more earthy notes now coming through

  September 11, 2021 - Opens with a nose of lavender that fills the room. Still plenty of red fruit, raspberry, dark cherry on the palate with a bit of cassis and hint of baking spice. Full bodied with a 20-25 second finish. Tannins are well integrated but still evident. Very tasty bottle of wine consumed with charcuterie on the beach near sundown. A word to the wise and I have said this before. This wine needs to be open and aerated at least three hours before drinking to fully reveal its balance.
