January 15, 2024 - Magenta in the glass with long legs that take more than a minute to run down. Very dense and concentrated with nice gripping tannins and a tart acidity that pierces the tongue.
Plum, blueberry, tobacco, cedar & spice on the palate this is a well-structured wine that's balanced, fresh and invigorating.
If drinking now a decant of 60-90 minutes is necessary (perhaps longer), but the reward is there if you have patience to hold another 2-5 years for everything to come together when it will be magnificent.
92+ right now with the decant; 94+ in the future. Excellent Pauillac for the $$$ that punches above its weight class. I think I got this at Costco for around $40 and at that price it's a steal. I will buy more of these to stash away until 2026-2029.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 11, 2023 - This was really really good. Lots of intense waves of fruit with high extraction. Still quite a bit of oak to shed (blinded, I thought it was a 19) but rich and polished like a Lynch Bages or Mouton. Good slate minerals, too. Impressive and this will live a very long time.
