August 25, 2020 - This wine was exposed to prolonged heat but still performed very well. Leather, Stone, med acid. Nice structure and medium finish. If treated well, it could last another 5 yrs.
February 24, 2018 - Decanted in glass for about 30 minutes. Blackberry and plumb on the nose, a bit of spice as well. Flavors of dark fruit, graphite, and a hint of chocolate/coffee on the back end. Did not have with any food. Would be perfect with a nice grilled ribeye! I think this has another 5 years left and looking forward to enjoying again. 8 bottles to go.
January 6, 2018 - Classic claret.
December 17, 2017 - Fabulous - drinking perfectly. Lovely balance, elegance, structure. My first time ever tasting this wine. Incredible value.
November 1, 2017 - Tasty
December 21, 2016 - best output yet... pencil domination has subsided and integrated into more fruit and balance
July 21, 2015 - Nothing special, just a nice mature wine that is ready to drink.
March 8, 2015 - Ready now though can sit a while longer I think. Mature nose with all the typical Bordeaux funk, medium body, medium finish. Tannins are resolved and the wine is just shy of silky.
March 8, 2015 - Open and ready for business with a splash decant. Unmistakably Bordeaux. Still young and should drink well for several more years.
April 24, 2012 - good density, earth and fruit. a good long life remaining... GOOD+
