  June 13, 2021 - Rounded fruit, very smooth. Paired with pulled pork shoulder BBQ. Excellent. Opened a 2014 Right Bank to compare, and the Left Bank was the star. Decanted for 3-4 hours.

  March 7, 2021 - Unusual scenario- last glass in a bottle popped a week + earlier found languishing in the wine room. Tried it out and still drinking well. Fresh berry on the nose moderate body/finish. Quite surprised!

  October 16, 2020 - See prior notes. Wine was ok - I think we should have consumed with others last year. Color is still deep red. Very hot on the open - menthol gave way to green pepper. Then decanted, and more of the typical Caldwell notes came through. Overall a good wine but we maybe waited too long

  September 12, 2020 - Five hour decant. Nearly opaque magenta color. Dr. Pepper, black cherry, sage, shortbread, and freshly washed linen on the somewhat manufactured nose. Smooth, dry palate, with suede-like acidity. Firm, full, soft tannins on the longish finish. The words may look good, but this bottle underperformed. It’s just OK, which is not OK for the price.
