January 28, 2024 - Just about perfect, at least while this young. Maybe better than perfect in the future? As good as the 1st Growth Margaux or Palmer...

December 16, 2023 - K&L Grand Bordeaux Tasting: There's cassis and pure dark fruit on the nose; much tamer than the intoxicating aromas from '20 Canon I had before this. Medium bodied with a velvety texture. There isn't over-the-top, jammy fruit, but I would characterize this wine as ripe and predominantly fruit-forward with just a subtle touch of mineral complexity.

December 16, 2023 - K&L Bordeaux Tasting: 13.5% ABV. Medium ruby appearance. Black fruit, anise, blackcurrant leaf, capsicum, dark chocolate. A bit more herbaceous than I prefer. Tannins not ready, but not offensive either. Acidity is good, not great given the ripeness of the fruit. Elegant mouthfeel. Needs more time to develop, feels clumsy right now.

December 16, 2023 - very dark purple. perfumed Margaux nose with violet and rose petals wafting thru the cassis and blackberry fruit, the cedar, and the herbs. the herbal notes carry into and thru the mouth, making the wine feel a bit more open than it is while the smooth texture masks some of the power. moderate finish with a lot of structure that needs to resolve.
balanced, elegant, and in need of a good handful of years to start showing what it is.
13.5% AbV (!!); 60% Cab Sauv/ 36% Merlot/ 3% PV/ 1% Cab Franc; eighteen months in 60% new barrels2 people found this helpful Comment -

December 16, 2023 - Saturday Afternoon Bordeaux (K&L Wines, San Francisco): Almost black. Light pencil shavings on the nose. Medium to full body. Much more herbal than the Canon (more Cab Franc/Merlot I would assume). Less obvious oak, leaner and stricter than the previous wine with good acidity, herbaceous finish with dry tannins. Completely unready and closed. Difficult to read.
