  March 24, 2024 - Very nice wine. Black and red cherry, blackberry, plums, tobacco, some spice. In top drinking spot ands will keep that level for some more years.

  June 12, 2023 - From a magnum brought to a friend. Opened 1 hour before serving.
  Perhaps my expectations were too high based on the critical praise, but I felt a bit let down by this wine. This felt like a tired, unremarkable bordeaux blend. Other guests liked it more than I did, though.

  October 14, 2022 - Restaurant purchase, no detailed note. Prime drinking here; more Bodeaux than most Bordeaux today, beautiful tobacco and leather along fresh fruit. Very elegant wine. Lovely. 17/20

  May 1, 2021 - Nose > Minty cherry, smoky cassis, roasted tomato & black truffle, with some older (not really so much anymore) "neutral" oak. (the website claims a blend of new, 1 year & 2 year; I'm very dubious that there is not some % of oak quite a bit older than 2 yr barrels in the mix; the nose doesn't lie).
  Palate > Sappy, spicy & grippy. Red & choke cherry, dried flowers, rose, lavender.
  Good balance & acidity. Med intensity.
  Bordeaux blend; was told this also contained some Carmenere.
  (Ah, from their website: 60% Cab Sauvignon, 30% Carmenère, 10% Merlot)
  Another excellent red that I would have preferred younger.
