February 18, 2024 - Tasted blimd. Quite muted on the nose and on the palate. I was opened and decanted a couple of hours prior but it’s just nowhere near ready. Faint notes of tobacco, black fruit and eucalyptus, tannins are still quite dry. I’d say wait… at least five years.

November 13, 2023 - Ready to go Pomerol charmer. The wine is medium-bodied and already displaying its earthy, bright red berry, vibrant, floral character. The soft finish delivers more earthy, red fruit nuances. Drink from 2023-2030.

November 8, 2023 - Hello Lovely, where have you been all night??? This is downright fucking Bordeaux. Deep, beautiful balance of dark fruit, earth, blood, and cold clay. This is why I pop corks. To catch an underdog like this in its prime. This wowed me over and over. The best 2011 I have had yet! Find some. DRINK!
