January 26, 2023 - B120; G20; 4.5*+9+4.5*+9+9.5+5+5=97; Side by side with '15 Domaine Drouhin Laurène. Much lighter in color with full red berry character. Some cinnamon. Initial light notes of funk that recede over an hour+ and what remains is just lovely. This takes 2-4 hours to open in bottle and glass (Riedel Burgundy). Perhaps a light decant would hasten its arrival, but really, this is one for patience in the cellar and during the drinking to fully experience how great it is. The finish alone is worth experiencing at least once in your wine drinking life. Once again this vineyard proves why it is one of the best in the U.S. If you are lucky enough to own this do not eff it up by improper storage or by impatience during the drinking. This is incredible and will likely cellar for 20+ additional years.

April 16, 2022 - Rich red fruit. Dark cherry and black currant. Earthy and mushrooms. Savory tobacco and oak.

February 27, 2021 - Opened and decanted 30-min ahead of grill chicken fajitas. Light crimson-red with a ruby hue. The floral nose brings violets, tulips, lavender, cherry blossoms, grape hard candy, herbal tea, and blueberry pie. The palate is medium-full, square, tangy, and rich, bringing high-toned orange peel, pomegranate, and Bing cherries mixed with blackberry, rhubarb, black tea, cloves, bitters, cola, and campfire smoke. The finish is tannic, a little hot, and still disjointed, so this should be best 2023-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.
