    May 24, 2021 - Decanted for a couple of hours. Let it breath over dinner of Thai food. Paired well with the various spicy Thai dishes we enjoyed. The fruit is still there. It's showing its age, but still has a great flavor, from nose to finish. Clearly dulling with age. Definitely time to drink.

    September 25, 2016 - Perfect food wine. Has all the flavors of a first rate bordeaux. Medium body. Delightful wine.

    June 25, 2016 - Has all the stuff of an aged Bordeaux, just in smaller amounts. Nice classy claret.

    February 19, 2016 - Pretty fantastic for what's apparently a shit vintage. Well, it's right up my alley, anyway. Deep only red color; medium amount of sediment. Took others' recommendations and decanted for about 3 hours (just enough to time to head over town, piledrive some sushi into my facehole, drive back home, kill a bottle of Billecart, and settle in for the evening). Nice nose, a balance of dank and fruit. Anise, wintergreen, loam. Palate is a nice smooth blend of many nuances, all very subtle. Tart pie cherries without the tart; cassis, leather, a dash of smoke. The K&L e-newsletter today was right - this is not for you big Cali Can drinkers!
