January 17, 2020 - 2nd bottle of 3 that was plagued by VA. Drink 'em if you got 'em.
January 8, 2020 - Cassis, vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. Medium-low acidity, medium body, medium-low tannins. This is velvety soft and goes down super easy. Drink now. Straight forward but delicious!
November 19, 2019 - Granted this bottle was room temperature (not stored that way, I bought it ex-chateau), but it was something of a hot mess. A lot of the fruit has faded leaving mostly bitter oak and alcohol. I have a couple other bottles, hopefully a few weeks in the cellar will help. Drank too soon after shipping?
August 24, 2019 - Less than thrilling, a little indistinct. I'm wondering if this was better younger...
August 12, 2019 - Perfect right now drink if you have them
March 3, 2019 - Excellent and drinkable right now
March 2, 2019 - In a very good spot ageing wise. Black fruited and exhibiting some sweetness but also some well aged notes and really good balance and freshness. Wont knock your socks off, but very satisfying at age 10.
November 29, 2017 - My last bottle. Still holding up well. Will not improve, yet should still drink well for at least 2 more years.
July 31, 2017 - First glass+ was Coravin'ed many weeks ago. This note is on the rest of the bottle after popping the cork. Throwing lots of sediment. Lots of leather, earth, and wood on the nose. Fruit has softened, but still dense and black. Nicely balanced with very fine tannins.
July 19, 2017 - Smooth, fully resolved, nice character. Not over extracted.
