3/7/24, 11:50 AM - When you say doesn’t seem related, are you referring to the flavor profile or quality? It is a single vineyard next to the Leoville vineyard with the same owners. So it is definitely related. Just curious.
1/23/24, 5:37 PM - It would be helpful if you shared things such as decant time, notes on aromas and flavors. If you think it is just too early for the window, do you really think 89 is appropriate? FWIW that would help me in decisions like whether to buy, open, or how long to decant. Thanks for reviewing.
11/4/23, 8:49 AM - Curious why you rate 88 if it is stunning?
10/31/23, 1:29 PM - I am wondering if anyone here can comment on If it seems to be in its window, decant time and suggestions, and if you think of a 92pt wine as one of the best California syrahs, compared to what? When I bought this, it had a 95 and my first bottle was early but was not a 95. I didn’t think it hit the stratosphere of Sine Qua Non, Andremily, Fingers Crossed, Saxum, or Booker. Not trying to criticize but curious and wanting some direction for the 5 bottles of this I have laying down.

10/1/22, 9:32 AM - A rating of 85 begs a little more description than notes on acidity. Can you give more detail on why you rated it extremely low? I see your designation so I know you have a deeper knowledge to explain more
10/4/22, 5:08 AM - Thank you for the clarification. On first taste I was underwhelmed also. I went back to it after about a half hour and I thought the fruits came out a little more and it balanced a bit. Definitely not Drouhin's finer Burgundy, but I think it can serve ok as a cheap daily drinker.
10/1/22, 1:12 PM - Good write up. I drank one and felt like it was way too early as well. Hoping a nap will give it time to balance and express itself better.
4/29/22, 12:54 PM - Shouldn’t that have been decanted 3-4 hours? Did the profile change over time or did it get consumed quickly? Just wondering if the notes may have been due to decant time?
3/27/22, 10:00 PM - How long did you decant?
3/28/22, 5:37 AM - Thank you. I thought the note about a 6 hour decant may have been part of their problem. I have one that I will try to open soon.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
