December 29, 2023 - Great value here -- classic St Emilion styled Bordeaux. My last bottle, sadly.

March 21, 2021 - This is mostly merlot, with about 10% Cab Franc mixed in. I particularly liked the finish on this. Long and complex with 2-3 distinct phases. A bargain for $23.

May 10, 2020 - A lovely food wine. Cassis, Cherry (Kirsh like) and cedar. Medium bodied. Silky tannins. Fresh finish with some dark chocolate. Rated it 92 with food and then had some sip after supper: 90.

July 27, 2019 - Très beau St-Émilion. Nez typique de merlot. On y perçoit encore beaucoup l'alcool cependant. En bouche, bel équilibre entre le fruit et le chêne. Tanins présents, mais soyeux. Bon maintenant avec quelques heures de carafe ou attendre 2-3 ans pour lui permettre d'atteindre son apogée.
