September 21, 2021 - Drinking really well. Pop and pour, showed well over 3 hours or so.
Based on this showing, I'm in no rush to finish the last couple bottles.
December 24, 2020 - Needs a decant for sure. 3 hours minimum.
July 26, 2020 - Full yet refined, lovely.
June 2, 2019 - In a good place. Some tar and savory notes integrated with the fruit. Clean on the finish. Balance is good, but a bit short on acidity. This is good now, and good for another couple of years.
March 31, 2019 - Tasty stuff, classic nose and palate.
February 16, 2019 - Beautiful stuff, tar and dried rose petals, delightful.
January 10, 2019 - Drinks well now. Fruit forward. Does not have the complexity seen in other vintages but pleasant with a meal, a complementary wine as opposed to a center piece. Not sure how much aging is going to add panache.
August 12, 2018 - from 375. Open about 8 hours and then decant before serving. Pale burgundy. Very ripe fruit, faint rose, good balance. Much more advanced than a half bottle in 2014 and I think this is a good time to drink it, as it is good now but will never be magical.
August 1, 2018 - Beautiful, light on its feet and ethereal. Conversation over supper prevents proper analysis on this occasion. Lovely though. 92+
April 10, 2018 - Flawed bottle - it was cooked at some point in it's past - really a shame.
