Great as always. This has a bit more power than I remember, great concentration, very much ready for business even at this stage of development - nothing closed or untoward. Nice vibrancy with some acidity too. This was a screaming buy a while back on sale at about $40 plus tax. Even at up to $60 I could see this as case-worthy. It never disappoints. It has more charm than the more shrouded Champoux in my opinion, though perhaps a few years ore bottle age would change that relative comparison in Champoux' favor. 94+pts.

This was particularly expressive, with great intensity and delicacy, racy vibrancy. A delicious wine. Wish I got more as I got it on sale for $44 after tax, and it's hard to beat.

My last of these. Not quite as enticing as I remember, but always solid. Racy red fruit, quite expressive.

This wine has aged beautifully. Rounded tannins with excellent fruit, cedar and earth notes. Even better the next day.
