  October 29, 2023 - Decanted for an hour. Tannins still big and searing at first but then they calmed down within a half hour or so. Big explosive black fruits and black currant. A faint touch of Eucalyptus but with some additional touches of sage and dried herbs as well along with a subtle minerality underneath. Still years left. No rush yet, and it might get better still.

  July 29, 2018 - Very fragrant the wine exudes personality and class with layers of black currant, black cherry, graphite, cedar, bitter chocolate, tobacco leaf and a touch of marzipan. The aromas and flavors demonstrate great clarity, evident in the fact that despite great complexity each individual component can be easily identified. Medium bodied, the wine melds together ripeness and structure perfectly. The tannins have faded somewhat but are still present in the background predicting many years of life still yet ahead.

  February 28, 2018 - Decanted for three hours before service. In the bottle, dark clear maroon-red, shading to maroon-auburn at the rim. On the nose, currants, cedar, and leather. On the palate, it's all there - minerals, fruit, the aged notes of leather, a bit of mint, all riding on a smooth, silky texture with a lasting finish. This would be a great ringer to throw in a flight of St. Julien. It would also be great if I had more bottles of this, which, quite sadly, I don't. One of the nicest wines I've had in a good long while.

  September 15, 2017 - Man I love these wines. This was just excellent. It is new world wine but with a bit of old world sensibility. Lovely red fruits, but then also some leather and more woodsy flavors. Not overdone. Very balanced. Excellent with a long life ahead.
