December 1, 2023 - Most unexpectedly backward and monstrous. Closed on the nose. Cassis! on the palate. And tannins! It's a wine of some power, but it needs time still. Not what one normally expects from Heitz at all.

September 16, 2023 - Double decanted two hours before consumption. Opaque red. Black fruit on the nose. Moderate tannins and acid. Good balance. With additional air, the red fruits on the palate emerge. Drinking well now, but will be fine for another 5-7 years.

September 15, 2023 - Friday Night Uptown Brown Bagger (R&D's): Double blind. Herb and black fruit notes, with hints of dried hay/straw. Medium tannins. Red plum, currant and earth qualities on the palate. Finishes with good length; seamless across the palate. This seemed very Bordeaux-ish to me tonight. 93-94 pts. (J&J)

July 2, 2023 - colour is a rich dark plum. nose leans a little more to the savoury side of the spectrum but with air, it grows in complexity and sweet (and spicy notes) become more evident as well. palate is much the same, more savoury and woody but with nice acidic zip and a healthy hint of cassis on the back end. very nice.

November 5, 2022 - Kept in proper storage since purchase. Opened and let it breathe for approx 1 hour. Good balance and drinking like a proper well made cab. Very nice to enjoy now
