March 26, 2024 - Canon vs. Duffau-Lagarrosse 2009-2020 tasted blind (Fribourg): Medium garnet. Muted nose. Light bodied. Aromas very much in the brown, earthy spectrum, some green notes. Rather lean and light.

July 18, 2023 - No time to decant this or take detailed notes, but it is a really fine wine despite being from a tough vintage. It's balanced, but full-bodied, with very tasty fruit.

May 29, 2023 - Spurred on by Agelvis' recent bottle. I haven't had one of these in about 6 years. Decanted for 2 hours before going back into bottle to take to HMC's for dinner. Medium garnet in the glass. No barnyard at all on the nose, just fruit. On the palate, thin, red fruit to start, with a very slight tart quality to it, but by hour 2 it fills out into this dark red, velvety wine, with no tartness in sight. It's very well put together and very well balanced at that point. Perfect accompaniment to our meal. Perhaps less sweet and less weighty overall than what most Cali drinkers would like and maybe not enough Bdx-ish-ness for hard core Bdx drinkers, but I found it pretty enjoyable and very well made. 93-94 for me.

May 26, 2023 - Four hour slow ox. Very deep dark magenta color, with some rim fade. Stewed blackberries, pound cake, and violet. Dry, satiny palate, with vibrating, mouth coating acidity. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
