August 18, 2023 - Held for a decade, received as a gift and opened for 3 hours before pouring. Deep in color, medium bodied and decent finish. Honestly, you can do better at this price point but it is such a legendary and historic winery.

July 7, 2021 - It's been four years since we last had this so it seemed like a god time to check in. The result- it's coming along quite nicely. Still a youthful dark crimson red color, we decanted this off its sediment and followed it over the next 90 minutes during dinner. An initial bouquet of black currants, eucalyptus and herbs, along with rose petal, cherry and chocolate/mocha. The tannins have softened quite nicely and the oak, once dominant, has faded. Flavors of chocolate, currants and red plum. This is turning into a very nice little weeknight cabernet.
