January 6, 2023 - Pulled from the cellar, half hour decant, served in the low 60s F. Dropped a bunch of sediment. Initial VA which quickly blew off. Rich garnet color, no bricking. Cherry, chocolate, truffle, wet leather and anise on the nose. Velvety tannins, medium-bodied, medium-length drying finish. Assertive blackberry fruit mixed with a pleasant herbaceous acidity and notes of menthol. Went well with steak frites. Great QPR. Still alive, but I would drink now if I had more.

July 5, 2020 - The ultimate over performer. Nose red currant, cedar, plum. Palate shockingly fruit driven with nice acidity and plum fruit. Minerality and tannins there bit well integrated. Big and long finish. Ok it’s a bit rustic and burly. But it’s a castillon. This is really good serious juice. Not a tired bone in this bottle.

April 17, 2020 - I had a great experience with this wine. Showed all the great characteristics of aged Bordeaux with earthiness and a bit of funky cheese on the nose. Nice mouthfeel and texture. Certainly did not have the structure or depth of top level Bordeaux but this was a real surprise.

April 17, 2020 - Base level, old world cab. Closed throwing heavy sediment, give this a healthy decant to make the best of it.
