  November 6, 2023 - the sweetness is a bit overwhelming and concerning - with time in the glass it seems to integrate a bit which hopefully is a sign that more time in the cellar will do more of that......Good structure though so easily 6 -8 years in the cellar....

  August 5, 2023 - Cassis, blackberry, chocolate; smooth, velvety, textured, layered, rich; the tannins are not overpowering but it is still strangely a little closed, almost slightly tasteless, shy and muted on palate, but nevertheless still quite pleasing and good

  May 18, 2023 - Yeah it's ok Nose is fairly subdued. Low acid, M- tannin. I would not say "huge" fruit but the fruit is the meat of it. A little pruney. A weird tartiness like someone put in a sweet tart in the back of the palate that stands in the way of elegance. Really very little structure to it which I found odd as it is also chewy. Not sure what you would pair this with but not the best on its own. Too much alcohol washes out the fruit. Drank over a 3 hour period. High scores here of big flavor are a head scratcher... fading? shutting down? dying? odd bottle? Not sure on this one.

  February 3, 2023 - Opaque in color. Dark fruit, iron, black licorice. Decanted 2 hours. Delicious with a ribeye steak. 15% alcohol did not interfere. Really enjoyed this.

  December 31, 2022 - The first from a half-case, purchased at auction for $39/bottle: Definitely still a young wine, but tasty enough that I'm not sure any of these bottles will survive to maturity. A bottle of 2013 Rouget that we had drunk previously had been mushroomy and somewhat underpowered. This one is more intense and concise, with high acidity and medium body, and clean flavors of dark fruit and something woodsy.
