November 9, 2018 - Peaty nose, Peat on palate. Whisky lovers take note. Fine balance. Medium body. Tannins are integrated, ready to drink. Typically dry complex Bordeaux style. Excellent Bordeaux on a budget!

June 4, 2016 - PnP. Showing some brown hues. Nose has improved and now shows the more typical Bordeaux cedar, pencil shavings and tobacco notes. Tobacco, tart blackberry flavors. Soft, approachable, agreeable, but a a bit thin for my tastes.

December 26, 2015 - Great nose but a bit thinner than expected in the mouth. Still good, but won't be getting better at this point.

July 16, 2015 - Slightly improved from last time I had this a year ago, but still not a fan of this wine. A bit of barnyard and rather mellow. Drank 1/2 a bottle and had a headache the next day. One bottle left.
