  January 31, 2021 - Decanted 1hour, personally cellared since 2/2012, 9th bottle tasted of case.
  Wow this was good, has aged quite graciously.
  Incredible amounts of sweet kirsh, raspberry, plum, dark cherry, meaty, fully integrated but enough fruit so this will hold for several more years. Paired so nicely with pistachio crusted rack of lamb.

  June 17, 2017 - Decat 1hr, once again another excellent showing from this underrated producer, great fruit, kirsh is noticeable, certainly meaty notes, great balance and should easily last another five years but drinking well now with an extended decant.

  January 7, 2017 - Another nice showing, herbal nose with floral notes, nicely balanced palate with equal amounts of fruit, kirsh, raw meat, herbs, integrated tannins, drinking well now with several years of life ahead. Delicious with a rare filet!

  July 30, 2016 - Decanted 1hr, this CDP was quite good, paired with marinated grilled flank steak, grilled veggies, very nice accomplement. The nose was full of herbal notes, some tea and hints of raw meat. The palate also carried a bounty of herbal notes, blood, plum, cherry and everything was in near perfect balance. This CDP was ready to go with a good decant but has the structure to last and even improve for several more years.
