September 5, 2023 - Seems fairly mature. Nice smoky quality. Good fruit. Long finish.
Very nice overall. Drink now or within 5 years (could last longer)1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 28, 2023 - Coravin fun - 2009 Bordeaux & Random Burgundies (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Red hued fruit; almost a little baked raspberry married to black hued fruits; plums; currants, cream, slightly jubey compote notes, sweet spice. Juicy, fleshy and still retains freshness, black and red fruits, coarse flour textured tannins are slightly drying but more in support. Nice.

October 5, 2022 - This one was great. Definitely soft and merlot driven but really round and luscious with enough structure to keep things interesting. Probably ready to go no and will hold another 5-10 years I'm sure.

June 6, 2022 - Pnp. Needed a little time to open up. It's starting to develop tertiary flavors so I'm not going to be in a hurry to drink more but it's pleasant now.
