I’m only (and fairly well) familiar with this estate’s whites so this was a bit of an adventure (but no great risk at $54 several years ago). Fairly fresh, solidly secondary character of red cherry, cranberry, rich, freshly turned soil; a tad dry with ample acidity and decent length. Quite good for a primarily white wine maker. 90+

Moldy, completely saturated cork, but the wine was really, really nice. Beautiful underbrush and lovely cranberry fruit on the nose. Nice tight, sweet cranberry and raspberry fruit on the palate. not a blockbuster, but a lovely burgundy.

much darker than previous bottles. really solid qpr but not ready yet. not showing much on the nose, but tons and tons of minerality and ripe red fruit on the palate.

Lovely and classic. In a good spot. Now is fine. Five years no problem.

Spicy underbrush and cranberry fruit on the nose. Quite tart on the palate, with lots of cranberry fruit, but a little too tart on the finish.
