January 6, 2023 - 97+ and this wine is brooding like Batman after getting turned down by a lady. Long legs, tannins still present and not softened yet, Dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, embers, licorice. Fantastic vino

March 2, 2022 - Incredible wine! Red fruit fills the glass as the wine opens. Classic Bordeaux aromas. Tannins still have bite. This is drinking very well right now.

May 24, 2020 - Lot’s of dark berries, chocolate, aniseed, and a hint of sage on the finish. Full throttled and the heat of the vintage shows through, yet remains balanced. 95+ with a decant will be 96 if the heat dissipates with time.
