  Still solid. Medium body, compote and woody nose, earthy forest floor compost on the palate. Medium-high acidity, tannins integrated. Hard to beat even at current prices.

  Similar to my prior tasting notes. If you are looking for a great early maturity right bank Bordeaux, this is a fantastic option. Drinks well straight out of the bottle. Plush but earthy. Lovely!

  This is an amazing pop & pour wine that continues to amaze me each time I drink it. It tastes almost as if it is 10 years older than it really is. This is a plush wine that has all of the dirty Bordeaux funk that I love. While not the cleanest/pure Bordeaux wines, I like my Bordeaux slightly dirty.

  Visits in Bordeaux; 9/18/2023-9/19/2023 (St Julien, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol): The nose is perfumed and refined with balanced tones of red cherries, raspberries, 5-spice, sweet tobacco leaf notes, roses, fresh herbs, violets, crushed rocks, and some fruit cake. There is good depth with this showing off an expressive side. The Medium bodied feel is elegant and poised with crisp, medium acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is entering a real good place as it shows off an expressive and elegant side with good depth across the nose and palate.
