  July 1, 2022 - Rather poor showing, especially given 2006 is a right bank vintage which really allowed merlot to shine through. This is a bit disjointed, ethereal. Lots of nail polish on the nose. Harsh tanins, overipe fruit. Overdone and not balanced. Unpleasant. Bottle was kept in perfect condition since delivery in 2008.

  July 5, 2020 - Opened a bottle that has been consistently stored at 12 degrees centigrade: Still rather too young than to old, but accessible now. Nice, dark bouquet with traces of tar, cholcolate and Cassis. Well structured, fine but still dominating tannins, good length.
  Good wine. Starts getting accessible, but will improve within 3-5 years.

  May 11, 2013 - Nose has some barnyard and blueberries. On the pallet there is fruity black fruit and some velvety yet bitter tannins. Mouth texture is good with a fairly lengthy finish that has some tannins linger on the tip of your tongue and the fruit profile turns somewhat lighter. An interesting wine. I'm not sure of the mix of Cabernet Franc, but it is definitely present on the pallet. I'm not convinced this wine is on the decline just yet. I'm hopeful that it will present a more jointed presentation in a couple of years.
