  September 17, 2023 - Loads of new oak, creosote and scorched earth on the nose. Round on the palate, the tannins here are of very good quality but only medium-low in quantity. Some black currant but mostly lots of oak, dark chocolate and earth derived flavors. Unremarkable, but correct. Drink now-2028. 90

  July 2, 2023 - (at Aqua - Duck, NC) What a lovely wine. Medium bodied and showing all the classic plum, cassis and tobacco elements you could want in a very well priced package. For fans of Bordeaux. Drinking well now and will probably peak over the next 5 or so years. I have a hard time imagining any recent vintage being better than 2016. The balance of elements even in the less famous names is simply magic. (90)

  December 30, 2022 - Beautiful color. purple/ black with a hint of garnet.
  Nose of plum, oak, and vanilla.
  Jamy on the palate, fruit forward with blackberries, currant, and lemon Medium acidity and light tannins.
  A bit lacking in structure.
  Full-bodied wine with a long finish.
  However, the finish is a bit sour.

  September 12, 2022 - Drinking very nicely now, especially with a bit of aeration. On the nose, notes of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, dark chocolate and black fruits. Well balanced in the mouth, the fruit shine through a background of light wood and soft tanins, backed-up by a nice acidity, which keeps the wine fresh at all times. This is helped by a moderate - I'd like to say normal - alcohol content (13.5%) that provides enough body to the wine without overpowering it. Overall, a classic St Estephe experience that keeps on giving as hours tick by.
