March 10, 2024 - Mostly dark red fruit and and earthy elements on the nose. Mushroom, dried cranberry and cherry, damp soil, and cedar.
Med+ body, med acid, med tannin.
Nicely integrated and drinking great. The tannins may settle further down the road but this is great now. Drink now and over the next 10 years.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 9, 2024 - Popcorn, gym socks, blackberries, cantaloupe, smoky, and salty on the nose. Fruit still good, structure impressive along with color. Long finish, very good!
I don't think there's upside to letting these sit in the cellar any longer.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 22, 2024 - Beautfiul color! No bricking. Slight earthiness on the nose with some briar tones. Good mouth feel. Then dark cherry, a little pencil, and some iron notes. Fruit is still good. Tannins are present, but well balanced. All in all, a very good wine with the A5 Wagyu at L'Atelier Vegas.

January 13, 2024 - Timuquana BYO (TCC): So much herbal and green and sage and drinking very nicely. Lots going on here. All more of the herbal style and less of the fruit. It’s very nice. Many years left but drinking very well right now.

9/25/2003 (link)(Cos d'Estournel) Tight....tight . . . . tight. Great nose of chestnuts, mint, blackberries, black cherries, cassis, cedar and minerals. Just a deep, foresty St. Estephe nose. Concentrated and super-ripe with sweet fruit, pretty firm tannins, and a long very nicely delineated finish. Excellent quality but still an infant. Would nice to check in again in 7 years.
