December 15, 2021 - First bottle of the family trip and it was a good one. Glassware at rental left much to be desired but regardless of that detal we enjoyed this 2007 Rive Droite.
Garnet in color. The fruit still has a lot of life yet while still introducing second and tertiary notes. My only point reduction on this would be the amount of oak/vanilla notes that seem to overshowed the complexity and layers behind the scenes. No decant and consumed over 2 hours.
Drink or hold.

December 9, 2019 - Such a beauty. Nice dark plush fruit from the merlot with that beautiful core/structure from the cab. A truly gorgeous wine that goes on forever.

September 22, 2019 - It has been a year since I tried a bottle. I opened it three hours before
dinner and once again the cork broke. So I decanted through a vinturi. I put it back in the bottle and we went to the club to meet our friends for my wifes birthday dinner. The nose was all fruit the palate was dark cherry, dark plums, licorice and forest floor. The finish was medium to long. -

June 16, 2018 - The cork broke upon extraction and I had to push it through then decanted through a vinturi. Let it sit for a couple of hours. The nose was dark fruit. The palate was plums, dark cherries, mocha and earth. The finish was long and more of the earthiness came through.
