WOW! Take your time to enjoy. Was wonderful upon opening with at beautiful floral aroma. Limited sediment. That was dinner. But after a few days in the fridge, after warming to room temperature, the second half of this perfectly aged CAB shined in every way possible. Just stunning. A great pedigree from an excellent Producer.

Bought online with a provenance guarantee. It was OK but definitely tired. Other recent CT reviews may have set my expectations too high. Good but never got great.

Still drinking stunningly well - at peak or possibly just past peak with no further upside / significant eventual potential downside to holding onto this much longer, recommend drinking up any remaining holdings now. The 1st of 3 bottles recently acquired as part of a much larger cellar purchase and will drink the 2 remaining bottles over the upcoming holidays as well as the wine club tasting next year that we are hosting. Soft, integrated, balanced with oak & tannins all gone. Lovely soft nose of dark cherry, plum and cassis, dark purple with bricking, soft mouth feel, medium long aftertaste and initial cassis and dark stone fruit evolved into garrigue, forest floor, earth and ash. A great example of an aged matured high end CA Bdx - highly recommend.

Dark ruby, brick red edges, nose: sweet fruit with dusty earth and cedar, on the palate same with silky texture and seamless through to the medium long finish. peaking now, drink up it's really delicious juice, 13% alc.
