April 26, 2024 - The bottle didn’t age nicely, lack of elegance and fruit, notes of oxydation

January 29, 2024 - Tasted double blind in the first of two pairings of red wines from anywhere. Initially placed it as Bordeaux, but second-guessed myself and said Napa. Regardless, this had great depth and balance, with darker red fruit and earth notes. Really tasty now, but still on the younger side. I understand it had been decanted about 4 hours.

December 27, 2023 - I'm a little disappointed to be honest. Just doesnt have the elegance and beauty of other left bank producers - lacking in fruit power, a little rustic even. Surprising for a 2010
