September 16, 2023 - Clearly a young pup but delicious now and a good future, so classic mid-level Bordeaux.

February 17, 2023 - An easy afternoon with close friends; 2016 Bordeaux (@ FD): Beautiful and aromatic bouquet with dark berries, sweet spices, oak, vanilla and some white pepper. On the palate a full bodied wine with a lot of dark berries, good acidity and fairly mild tannin. Give it 3+ years of additional ageing.

November 26, 2022 - Creamy and round bouquet. On the palate beautiful red and dark berry fruits, mild and juicy acidity and tannin. Round and very youthful delicious wine.

May 24, 2022 - I think this is just swell. Hits the tongue lightly then dances around with fruit and a bit of tannin pull. Good balance and complexity, only ding is a bit of a bitterness in the finish. Easy to overcome by just drinking more or eating something thereafter!

October 30, 2021 - Young with potential but lovely now. Nose with blackberry, blueberry and oak. Tasty sweet fruit palate. Some tannins on the finish but overall a smooth wine.
