  September 7, 2021 - Admittedly, opened this way too young but i have more so all good. Typical Bordeaux style blend but don't know that actual %. Red/black cherry and plums on the fruit profile. Creamy texture with spice, black licorice, lavender, and dried herbs. Supple tannins and nice long finish. Beautiful wine right now but will easily go several more years.

  July 29, 2019 - Did his father proud Very nice. Still a bit young but after a good hour decant, tasted great. Very full body, lot of berry fruit. Worth the time to cellar

  November 3, 2018 - Decanted 3 hours. Nothing but structure with any future potential buried beneath a massive wall of tannins. Some tart blackberry and minerality sneaks out but certainly a stylistic shift from earlier years requiring at least 5 years cellaring.
