December 14, 2023 - Sensational wine, far exceeding expectations for its age & 2nd hand nature. With the band back together [Jon and Tom and Tom], paired brilliantly with filet oscar style @ Laurelhurst JaKs.

November 9, 2019 - Opaque purple in color. 14.5% ABV. Sublime nose of black fruits, cassis liqueur, tobacco and violets. Dense, concentrated and super silky. Exceptional balance. Black currants, raspberries, coffee and chocolate on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Great wine that is aging brilliantly. This will easily cruise to twenty years of age. Best over the next 4-6 years.

July 14, 2019 - Like-new cork. Youthful nose & color. Ripe, not a hint of green. Bright cassis, well resolved tannins. Good acidic lift. Many years ahead of it. Last bottle in my cellar :(

March 18, 2018 - Gorgeous nose of black currants, dried flowers and woodsy notes. On the palate the currants are joined by blackberry and cedar. Medium tannin with relatively high acidity, the structural components form a nice counter to the ripe fruit, keeping it all in balance. Probably the most Bordeaux-like Leonetti we have ever had, reminded us of a top quality St. Estephe. Plenty of time left. www.advinetures.ca
