  June 4, 2023 - Beast of a wine! Dark purple, almost Malbec black. Acid plus and structured. Some secondary flavors. Still quite tight. I would revisit this wine in 5 to 7 years to let it show its stuffing.

  January 14, 2023 - Deep red color. Aromas of black cherry, licorice, black pepper and wood spices. Medium-bodied fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length and well-integrated tannins. Very fresh and supple on the palate. While delicious now, at very beginning of its peak drinking period.

  May 16, 2022 - Has thrown tremendous amount of sediment. Austere with acid plus.I am just curious what this bottle will taste like in 20 years. Right now is just a solid dry wine without any charm.

  December 12, 2020 - We’ve just been in the New-to-Us-House for 2 weeks and still living with contractors, so a lot of things are still out of place and yet-to-be-placed and still being unpacked resulting in wine notes being a low priority. Nevertheless, when L-M is poured, I take note. We decanted this for about an hour. Otherwise, the wine would have been monolithically tight. What came through a still very young wine was a touch of black olive, plum, caramel, and black cherry. The tannins still require more integration, but the wine is nonetheless approachable now. Some sediment. 14.7% alc. With assorted blue cheeses and smoked duck with French country loaf from Reunion. 12.12.20. Recommended.

  October 15, 2020 - Crushed blackberry, pepper, tobacco, and baking spices on the nose, with minerally character and leather added in the mouth. Outstanding bottle. On the basis of this showing I’d wager that it will last another 10 years.
