July 11, 2019 - A really nice surprise. Was thinking this would be past prime and thin......I was wrong. It's in a really nice place, but was better on day two and three, so be sure and decant several hours. Nice balance of fruit and tannin.....smooth. Oak, black fruit, forest floor, etc. Worth holding back for awhile.

August 13, 2016 - In a very nice place. Probably the best balance bottle since early on. Tannin's largely resolved, aromatically expressive. Very Pessac. Wish this weren't the last bottle Accessible, can go a bit longer. I drank now on the assumption that since it was never very structured, and I believe, from young vines, should be drunk sooner rather than later. I needn't have 91-92

May 17, 2014 - Fully mature, this soft, round, smoky, black cherry and tobacco filled wine delivers a sweet, earthy, black raspberry, soft finish. There is no reason to hold this wine any longer.
