November 19, 2023 - Drinking beautifully. Plum hit my mouth first followed by minerals and smoke. Tannins are soft finish is long and beautiful. This wine is so complexed. Wish I had 20 more bottles

July 9, 2022 - Chez Br, 2 bottles decanted an hour, perfect corks and levels - glossy, deep not too dark ruby, little development; attractive, classy nose, rich plum and mineral; fullish, long, persistent, decent concentration and balance, curiously refreshing for such a big wine notwithstanding some syrup, fine grained tannins well covered by fruit, silky, upside, 25+ years. F+ (18).
