The Wine Monkeys Does not like this wine:
December 26, 2022 - Light, watery, lacking in all areas. I knew it was an iffy vintage but I was surprised at how flabby and watered down this wine was.

November 19, 2019 - Cork in good condition. No bricking. Full bodied. Tannins fully resolved. Aromas of graphite and cedar. Flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and gunpowder. Long finish. Fully mature, drink now. A characteristic Bordeaux from a less than stellar vintage.
