  May 18, 2020 - Can't help thinking this is only now coming into its own
  
  Made with high alcohol (14.5%abv), hardly a traditional Bordeaux, but still an attractive merlot cab f blend with enough fruit and acidity to balance 14 months in new oak
  
  Proof that even the international style can't totally mess up some good Bx fruit

  March 13, 2018 - Aged 5 years (8 total), decanted; moderate sediment. intense notes of cedar (almost came across as leather) hints of dark fruits. Zero finish which was disappointing. Paired amazingly well with fromager d’affinois goat Brie.

  August 27, 2017 - Was wonderful with a not so wonderful steak. Wonderful nose with the right amount of tannin.

  July 3, 2015 - Already giving up its sweet black raspberry, cherry and earthy character, the wine is soft, medium bodied and fresh, and will best in its expressive youth.

  December 28, 2014 - Decanted for one hour after opening. Powerful nose of cherry, chocolate and some truffle. Concentrated dark fruits on the palate and a medium-plus finish of cedar and some tobacco smoke. I would agree with some that the alcohol was a bit high for my liking, but overall I find this to be an excellent wine for the price.
