    September 10, 2019 - This wine is surprisingly amazing. Another example of not hanging your hat on Lisa Brown or Robert Parker. According to her the wine was supposed to be drunk within the first six years. This bottle has been laying in my cellar for 13 years untouched. It is an incredible bottle still vibrant, full of dark fruit and very polished tannins.
    Could easily be confused for a cote rotie

    December 17, 2014 - At pnp quite jammy but with decanting - sediment on cork and in bottle - after an hour became complex and interesting. Garrigue, ripe fruit and medium finish all combine to make this one a winner. Still holding well and able to go another 3 years.

    October 3, 2011 - Purchased as a closeout price on the off chance there would be some life left. As such, a very pleasant surprise. A little cloudy with sediment, this would take some port treatment, standing for 24 hours and decanting thereafter. Only the slightest bricking of the color.
    A nice clean CdP profile: raspberry, some plum, a little herbal spice, too.

    January 9, 2011 - Clean, crisp, smooth, pure fruit, elegant. Almost as if it were an intense Pinot. Very nice.
