December 11, 2020 - Needed 1 hour of decanting to breathe off the funk. Smooth, mature, and balanced with a complex flavor profile. An excellent aged wine. Was working better with the cheese than the food.

January 30, 2020 - This was a beautiful bottle that was at a point in its progression that I love. Fruit was taking a backseat to the green, pencil lead, herbal, and bretty funk. When Cabernet Franc starts to feel like Burgundy, I could not be happier. Still had plenty of acidity to hold on for 3-5 years, but why not just drink it now and truly enjoy it?

June 29, 2018 - No formal notes taken but earth, minerals and bell peppers dominated the impression, with fruit lingering in the background. Balanced amount tannins and acidity, has aged very nicely.

April 29, 2018 - Decanted 30 mins ahead. Leather, green pepper, and red currant nose. Vibrant, earthy fruit on the palate. More consistent through the evening than the ‘86, but the 86 was more subtly sophisticated later.... Long finish, and classic overall profile. Paired with steak.

June 24, 2017 - @Les Marchands. Nose of classic Bordeaux esters: new rubber, new inflatable swimming pool, with an undertone of spices - sage, cinnamon, cedar. Body medium to medium light, color an unsaturated reddish with good orange bricking, a thick margin. Palate remained with fresh acidity, structure was present but gentle, the veriest tiny hint of oak toast on the back palate. Balance was perfect, absolutely could not have been better - paired wonderfully with shakshuka, a spicy egg dish. After a splash decant and an hour in the sun, the back palate was giving an unmistakeable note of green bell pepper, a pleasant parting gift.
