November 7, 2021 - Absolute stunner. Large bottle with a lot of weight. Juice was spectacular-- enjoyed by everyone that was at the party. Dark, smooth, tempered spice, mellow. Terrific in every way and did not disappoint.
July 9, 2021 - Robe foncée avec un beau nez. Vin rond et complexe sur des arômes de boisé, chocolat, fruits noir et violet. Bel équilibre, tannin soyeux. Selon moi, commence vers sa pente descendante, manquait légèrement de corps.
January 31, 2021 - This wine has clearly entered its next phase. All flavors are secondary, with graphite, rosemary and other spice notes. The first day, it was good, but not great; 24 hours later, it was a beautiful example of an aged Merlot, very "right bank" in style. Really enjoyed.
December 15, 2020 - Great forward fruit. Supple Tannins. Drink now as I don’t think it’s going to improve further and may be a bit past it’s prime
September 21, 2020 - Deep garnet red. Dark nose coated in black cherries, tobacco and some volcanic earth. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium to medium plus body. Well balanced acidity with cedar, cigar box, black plums, cherries and a bit of earthiness. Long finish. Drink now.
April 17, 2020 - Fruit was a bit muted upon opening but opened up nicely over the course of the evening. Has some nice layers and will continue to evolve but not sure it will improve with additional cellaring
January 5, 2020 - Quite tight. Opened up. Drink now.
May 13, 2018 - Very similar to last time with prominent cherries throughout.
February 9, 2018 - a light 30 minute decant today.
Light strawberry nose N6 - this initially seems to be thin then moderates and keeps a medium body. B6 t7
A distinctive light liquorice mint start and finish on the palate.
February 8, 2018 - Fourth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 came out too.
Medium to deep ruby red. Notes of strawberries, bramble berries, anise and tobacco on the nose. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and medium plus body. Nice amount of cocoa, anise, black currants and woody. Drink till 2020.
