May 22, 2021 - This was drinking great. Upon opening it has a beautiful bouquet and had a multi-dimensional rhubarb scent and taste and then smoothed into a strawberry spice on the U-V. Wine is solid and drinking window is wide open
Way better than the dead 06 Aubert Ritchie.
March 21, 2019 - Still a beautiful wine, but just past peak, on the way down
December 28, 2018 - Pours with medium density. Cherry jolly rancher nose. Candied cherry front that has a hint of anise and cola. Middle is darker fruit for sure. Finishes with good acidity and very round. QUITE lovely. Not over the top. NOT in the gutter. The structure on this one is massive. Gotta love it! This will hold another 5 years but it is in such a great place right now, why wait?
November 3, 2018 - Delicious pure strawberry fruit, soft and mellow, slightly hot, excellent structure, ample finish, lacked depth and complexity of flavors, not worth the price of $125 at release
April 11, 2018 - with 2 hours air these we nice but not wow. Others enjoyed more than me.
August 5, 2017 - - Garnet color.
February 26, 2017 - Translucent red in color and clear at the rim. Faint alkaline scent. Light red fruit, cola, a little spice and a bit too sweet to taste. Sweetness persist through the finish.
February 4, 2017 - Previous tasting notes apply. Given its heritage, this was disappointing wine.
April 4, 2016 - Stood out as clearly new world in a sea of burgs..
Restrained but plenty of fruit. Nose was a bit reticent.
I think a few more years and this is quite the delish drink
February 21, 2016 - Dark fruit, high toned touch of acetylene that blew off with air. Nice complex aged mouthful.
