    April 25, 2024 - Dinner at Maple & Ash. Decanted for half an hour before drinking. Needed longer as it continues to get better throughout dinner. Excellent nose with cassis and black fruit. Good mouthfeel with less structure and tannin than I expected. Fruit is fading but still primary. Very enjoyable with dinner and did not overpower the steak. Needs a longer decant.

    April 22, 2024 - Opened at the end of the evening to compare to a bottle of 1995 Pontet-Canet a friend brought. The nose and pallet of both wines were almost identical with the 2014 being slightly brighter/fresher with more acidity. Given the high critic scores of the 14 I expected a great wine but this was average at best and I was underwhelmed. Of the 6 different red, two bottles each of 13 dunn Napa Valley 13 Palo Scavino bric del fiasc 16 torbreck Descendant and 08 circa cab franc, the two Pontet-Canet were my least favorite. Perhaps I'm just not a bordeaux guy or maybe my pallet isn't sophisticated enough (im sure the bordeaux lovers would say this- LOL) to appreciate them, but, at least for me, there are a lot of places making better wine then bordeaux. Would not buy again and not a particularly good qpr. Having said all that, I do think Bordeaux makes the best chardonnay in the world!

    April 9, 2024 - Drank at a business dinner in Montréal.

    Decanted and drank over the course of two hours.

    Dark cherry, wet dirt, slight spice.

    Opened up nicely, probably can use more time.

    Paired well with gnocchi.

    93 points.

    March 10, 2024 - What a stunner! The nose hooks you immediately with inky black fruit and pencil shavings, the palate is bursting with black fruit, acidity, and surprisingly integrated tannins. Lots of drive and length. At 10 years old, this does not feel too young to drink nor from a “normal” vintage. Great value for the quality
