February 14, 2022 - Aroma was quite one dimension but it still has the hints of required character of a nice wine, cherries, berries and oak but lite.. medium body and smooth finishing. Balance wine but weak.

April 17, 2016 - MW Institute 2011 Bordeaux Tasting: Pencil, ash and tobacco aromas. Sweeter fruit elements on the palate, the structure doesn't really feel like it is there for this to be a very long term wine, but it's pretty good to drink in the shorter term.

January 20, 2016 - Institute of Masters of Wine - 2011 Bdx Tasting (Hyatt, San Francisco): I blinded this as a St Estephe. Rather green cabernet aromas. Tannic.

September 2, 2014 - This is too thin and one-dimensional to merit a higher score from us. Still: delicious and too expensive.
Tasted at the Chateau. -

May 17, 2014 - Quite expressive nose, oaky, floral, ripe fruit. Pretty sweet and upfront, firm structure and good length. 88-90
