July 18, 2021 - Score is because of where the wine is now. Fruit has dissipated. Past it’s prime. Still drinkable with short aeration but flat. Not much on the nose or palate. Some leather and cigar notes. Wife likes it so that’s a plus.

September 1, 2018 - Rouge brique, faible dépôt. Bouteille redressée 24h avant le service et ouverte et carafée 4h à l'avance. Le traitement était approprié. Un beau nez complexe de pruneaux, cerise, torréfaction et herbes séchées. En bouche, ça reste bien vivant, fruit croquant, tanins encore vifs et un tout petit de verdeur amère en fin de bouche. Belle longueur et belle complexité. Très bien et aurait pu encore vieillir gracieusement pour quelques années (3 à 5).

September 12, 2017 - In a good place right now but likely at its peak if you want proper fruit. Slightly brickish in color. Nose is dried cherry which follows on the palate with sage & earth. Quite good for the price. Drink now-2020.
