  March 31, 2024 - Sweet oak is over prominent now. Fruit and acid are still excellent but no longer in balance

  February 2, 2024 - I posted comments recently for the 2014 vintage, which you can read. The 2013 mirrors my description almost to the letter. It is another outstanding offering from L'Aventure like all their wines.The 2014 is a little more approachable and offers a slightly more enjoyable drinking experience. The '13 is spicier w/stronger tannins and has not reached it's pinnacle yet. I believe in several years it will command a 96 score from me like the '14.

  November 12, 2023 - Brought to a dinner, popped and poured. Could easily pass for a mature top-notch C9P from a ripe year. Smooth and delicious; no one varietal stands out; no noticeable heat, either. Probably at peak; will likely plateau for a year or two.

  April 8, 2023 - Bring an interesting wine theme: Guessed 2015 Napa Cab. Heavily extracted with monolithic, syrupy dark red fruit. An artificial concentration to the wine, with the texture being smoothed to oblivion. Quite a contrast to the Domaine des Tours as a Grenache blend.
