December 5, 2022 - Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Like so many 2005 St.Emilion, this was also over extracted, stemming from the Parker era. Stick to Medoc in 2005.

June 28, 2015 - Full bodied, rich and intense, this concentrated, silky, sensuous, charismatic wine is packed with layers of velvety, black cherries, crushed stone, plum and earthy scents that are only made better when the wine hits your palate and stays there.

April 18, 2010 - WGS: 2005 Bordeaux; 4/17/2010-4/18/2010 (Hilton Hotel Singapore): Black licourice, anise, fennel seed...this has lots of spices on the nose but seemingly still very tight .,..you could feel greater potential lurking beneath. A breath of cool air seems to back up the nose too. Excellent fresh fruits and I really mean FRESH! with hints of spices . Absolutely gorgeous wine. Great potential.

October 25, 2006 - A trip to Bordeaux's Right Bank (Very long); 10/22/2006-10/30/2006 (Bordeaux, France): 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from a 2 hectare plot. Black ruby with a gourgeous nose of very ripe black fruits, vanilla and spice. This wine is boldly elegant with a blockbuster flavor profile of fruit and complexity. This could have been a Pride Reserve Claret from an elegant year. I absolutely love this wine. Too bad the price tag may prevent me from buying some.
