January 28, 2024 - Touche de réduction, nez de pruneaux, chocolat, prune, cerise. La bouche est soyeuse, agréable, longue et goute le gâteau forêt noir. Le lendemain le vin était encore meilleur.

November 19, 2023 - Ripe fresh berries on the nose. Classic Merlot. Full, balanced body. Drinking well. Drink now or over the next couple years. My storage was not ideal.

October 28, 2023 - Similar to prior notes after double decanting for 2 hrs; delicious, but like most 13s, seems young, drink or preferably hold for another year or 2

August 22, 2023 - Definitely a cab lover’s merlot. Big, deep flavors of chocolate and cherries with some herbal nuances o balance the bouquet. Can easily hold and enjoy over the next 3 years
