Casis, chocolate. Little bit of baryard funk. Tasty. Still drying short tannins, mid finish. Lovely. Drink over next few years.

Good structure and bones but not yielding much beyond the tannins at this stage. Very tight, was expecting more approachability like many 15s. Open next 2028+

Ripe concentrated, showy. Supple texture, very long finish. Chewy. Coffee, smoke, berries, licorice.

Almost in the drinking window, recommend holding just a bit longer, but far better than it was 3 years ago last time I tried it.

Green apple, tart, unoaked. Not getting as much mineralty as I'd expect. Average

Fruit forward, can tell some high quality fruit. But feels like cheap oak and perhaps manipulated with additives. Over extracted, high alcohol. Running hot.

Consistent notes

1/7/2023 - 82Latour Does not like this wine:

Muted cherry, dried baking spices, firm tannins with a lot of acidity. I found this wine far too aggressive and dried out and I was disappointed with it.

12/9/2022 - 82Latour Does not like this wine:

Floral red berries, but tasting a bit flat and tired. Perhaps a bad bottle or just uninteresting.

12/9/2022 - 82Latour Likes this wine:

Stone fruit, melon, lighter structure but very well balanced and well made.

Drank from a 375.
New world, classic cherry, cola, wild berry. Well made, polished. Easy to like.

Light pale, citrus, clean steel Chardonnay. Modest minerality and easy drinking. Nice, may buy again.

Good acidity, fresh apple, tropical, nutty. Unoaked chardonnay. Wonderful.

Unoaked and clean style Chardonnay, refreshing and well balanced. Expressive, apple peach, lovely.

Inky and rich. Fruit is still very present and not fading to secondary yet. Still an amazing wine.

8/25/2022 - 82Latour Likes this wine:

Plums, spices, licorice. Soft and easy drinking. Nicely made wine will age gracefully for a few more years but is approachable now.

Consistently great. This bottle had more drying tannins than I remember but otherwise perfect.

Classic claret, good structure, indistinguishable fruit. Drinking well.

1/31/2022 - 82Latour Likes this wine:

Licorice, smoke, raspberry, dark berries. Still a bit wound up as a lot of 10 are. Will hopefully become a bit more subtle as time goes on. Very well made. Hold or drink.

Medium red with a watery rim, dry nose with baking spice, dried plum, blackberry liqueur, dark cherry. Mid finish, drying. Dry.

I'm seeing quite a few reviews decribing as deep, dense and plush, not getting any of that. A bit disjointed at this time, hold for a few more years. Or maybe an off bottle.

12/15/2021 - 82Latour wrote:

Well made and easy drinking with a touch of dryness on the finish coming from the tannins. Well incorporated wine, but without pronounced flavors making it a bit uninteresting.

Consistently terrific. Still has that velvet mouth feel and texture. Opulent, showy. Wonder.

11/27/2021 - 82Latour Likes this wine:

Decanted 3 hours - Sweet black fruit, herbaceous, new world, ripe cutting through the tannins. Big finish. Wonderful wine.

Rich and opulent, thick, lucious. The acid has eaten into the tannins and is now more balanced than it was in it's youth. Cherry, anise, cola, tart berries, cedar are present in a wonderful palate. Mid+ finish.
