December 31, 2022 - Drank this too long ago to remember specifics, but I do recall that it was outclassed by a 2016 Malescot. This wine was stylistically softer and less serious, but certainly delicious. Tough to justify the price point tho, given other class growth options.

December 26, 2020 - Nose- black & red fruits, Cassis, currants, spices & some cedar with cooked meats. Palate black & red fruits with spices, some medium tannins & minerals with cooked meats, a savory quality & superbly integrated oak with some more fruit on the finish & an earthy quality. Really good stuff but needs air. Definitely a special wine.

October 11, 2020 - Really needs 4 hours decant. After 1.5 hours it’s still a simple wine, not showing the elegance or complexity of a first growth

May 21, 2018 - Lead pencil, cigar box, ash, crushed stone and rocks with dark red berries are on the nose and palate. Silky, soft, round textures, lush tannins and juicy, sweet fruits with tobacco finish everything off.
