March 18, 2021 - Plum, currant, figs, hints of vanilla, beautifully perfumed; pure, rounded, fresh, both rich and yet strangely light and gliding with a very long finish indeed; slightly hollow in the middle; clearly young and a little closed and in need of development but very graceful and especially so for such relatively intense fruit on the nose
From One Hour Onward: Fruits are still vey much present on the nose but subtly receding and giving way to a juxtaposition with leather and cigar box; the experience on the palate is similar but with somewhat more grip and grit as well, yet still graceful and somehow also remarkably light while also being rich -

December 4, 2018 - Wow... all it is cracked up to be. Delicious, dense, aromatically ideal, tasty long finish, just fantastic.
Jeff Leve summed it up well , I noticed some coconut or that buttery plum he says, on the nose. -

April 29, 2016 - Quite a concentrated creme de cassis/black fruited nose; very rich and concentrated but impressive and has appeal though perhaps the style here doesn't suit this vintage perfectly

June 18, 2015 - Monster dark fruit. Coffee, chocolate, black currant. Monster tannin. This needs time.

April 27, 2015 - A lingering impression of smoke and earth with caramel-coated blackberries and buttery plums generating the perfume, this wine is full bodied, deep and concentrated with silky, lush textures and a stony, mineral, fresh, vibrant, ripe fruit filled finish. Blending 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the wine is aging in 100% new, French oak. 94-95 Pts
