  Beautiful Bordeaux that is in its drinking window now. The only criticism would be the high 15% abv. It’s generally well Integrated, but every once a while I got a whiff of that alcohol. Nonetheless, good bottle and look forward to trying my last bottle of this wine

  Juicy dark berries, good concentration, beautiful acidity and sticky tannin. Already beautiful, but will show more finesse with a few more years of cellaring. 92 – 93

  Lots of acidity, spice, tannins but also green tightness. Fruit is there but overwhelmed by the other stuff. Very long finish and aftertaste. To me a great example of what results from perfectionized winemaking applied to less than perfect grapes (second wine). Amazing intensity and length but lacks purity. Benefits significantly from a colder than usual drinking temperature (< 15C). Enjoyable and excellent QPR if you like a more intense style.

  Ripe red fruit, fresh fennel and cumin with a touch of veggie notes on the nose and palate. Interesting aromatics. Palate is rich, fresh and rounded. Medium-bodied mid-palate. Clean and pure. Transition is smooth after an hour in the bottle. Finish is extended and deep. This need more time, another 3-5 years will be beneficial to the texture of the wine.

  Coravin fun - St Estephe and randoms (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Plummy, rich and ripe with some alcohol prickle and very slight liquorice, a little polished oak on the nose. Juicy, fleshy, plummy black fruits, persistent talc textured tannins, the alcohol helps carry the finish surprisingly long. Simple
