July 4, 2022 - Union des Grands Crus: This is in a tough place to assess today; the nose is ungiving. But the palate is promising, driven by black fruit and licorice with an aromatically-interesting tension between smoky peat and clean mineral.

July 4, 2022 - Powerful and stubborn, this is going to take time, lots of it. A bit of backwardness here as opposed to the other open and inviting Saint Emillon. Dense, thick, pithy, slightly bitter, but undoubtedly promising. Long finish that shows hot now. HOLD_

July 1, 2022 - I like the descriptions below - if you already know the house, buy this. You will not be sad. It's nowhere ready to drink without a massive decant. This was far better with 24 hours of air (and a steak). Recommended.

June 30, 2022 - A little pasty and bland. Full bodied and ripe, but will require time to realize whatever potential it has. At LA UGC.

March 29, 2022 - Even better in the bottle after its aging period, the wine explodes with flowers, black cherries, plums, mint, espresso, cocoa, licorice and crushed rocks. The wine is full-bodied, opulent, rich, silky, fresh and long. The palate is coated with layers of dark red pit fruits with that elusive touch of salt, silky tannins and purity in the fruits that radiate from the mid-palate continuing all the way through to the long, velvety, harmonious finish. Give this at least a few years in the cellar and it should offer pleasure for the following 3 decades with ease. Drink from 2025-2055.
