August 4, 2019 - A wine that reminds you why expensive wine is worth it. First, deep red on pour, actually a bit less opaque than I expected. The bouquet is really what blew me away. Every time I took a whiff, I got something else. Fruit? All of them... Strawberry, blackberry, plum, gooseberry. Bit of floral as well, some rose mixed in. The palate was smooth, starting off with a bit of spice, then moving to leather and a bit of earth and hint of molasses. Very smooth. Straight to carafe, drank over 6 hours, probably best at 2.5?

September 3, 2018 - Decanted 1.5 hours, drank over 1.5 hours. Big blue & black fruits, dense yet smooth, though still young. Delicious now but will reward much more with time.

I also found finesse here, again back to how all of the core parts of the wine were in tune to the other. When I did one final pour right before the end of dinner, the wine had started to coil and tighten, losing some of the openness that it initially showed. In total, this bottle showed me a real sense of class and I can see why it is regarded like it is.

June 16, 2017 - Absolute knockout wine. Nose with wonderful complex and ever changing notes of dark fruit including blackberry and maybe some raspberry along with a touch of spice and toasted oak. Palate medium to full bodied, well balanced with silky tannins and appropriate acidity. Long finish. Drinking well now but if I had another I'd wait 2-3 more years.
