  April 13, 2024 - An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): Beautiful bouquet with dark berries, metal, beautiful oak and cedar and some sweet impressions. On the palate juicy dark berries, sweet licorice, dark chocolate , beautiful acidity and round tannin and a great length. High viscosity. Also some autumn forest impressions. Still youthful but the most developed of the wines we had today. 93 - 94

  April 5, 2024 - I really like this but it has a ton of life left and I will try to keep my paws off my remaining bottles. The initial Brett blew off and left the wine with purple flowers, black fruit, and graphite. Nice acidity and fine tannins and mineral finish. Quite lovely alone and with food

  March 1, 2024 - Exotische Würze, Leder Cassis und Tee, Mokka, Tomatenmark und Trockenblüten. Dichter Gaumen, gradlinig, gute Struktur, saftige Frucht, noch jugendlich, doch antrinkbar. Sehr gute Länge und viel Würze im Abgang. Ein eleganter Cos. 2023 bis 2040...

  December 25, 2023 - Exquisite wine that still shows its youthful nature. On the robust and mouth filling end of the spectrum. Cedar, dark fruit, graphite. Tannins softened but definitely still apparent. Didn’t waste a drop. This will be exceptional for a number of years if you can keep your corkscrew away from it.🤣 As much as we enjoyed this, can’t justify spending that much when there are other Napa and Bordeaux that approach this for half the price or less.

  December 13, 2023 - **Its the holidays and nothing spells holiday in the mouth more than a younger, rich Cos. After having tried this a few times, this definitely falls in the Saint Estephe's micro appellation success camp for 2014. It seems that though many 2014 wines were tame and beautifully classic, Saint Estephe produced some really big rich wines at a discount. Look to this and the big Meyney for some examples (great QPR there). I have other examples in my head that I cant bring to mouth right now. This is rich, dark berried, spicy, jammy without being heavy, and incredibly delicious and a fine example of the modern direction of Cos. Drink with 90 minute+ decant or Hold
