October 26, 2023 - Massive wine that's just entering its drinking window. 6 hour slow ox. Drink with lots of air or hold as will keep on improving.

December 14, 2022 - Dark Plums, blackberries, blackcurrant, tobacco and some earthiness on the opening. This is well structured, great fruits and deep color. Finish of 45 seconds at least with another of age may get better.

April 15, 2021 - I may have popped this early, but it drank well. Dark, unctuous with good viscosity. Dark brooding fruits that probably will show even better in a couple of years. I enjoyed it, but do believe it will be even better in 2023+

March 1, 2019 - This is really good and showing well early. It is splitting hairs as to whether this or the GIII is a better wine, but without a doubt it is in the same league as the Stones wines for a much more attractive price.
Plums, blackcurrant, lots of spice box, tobacco and deep earthy notes on the nose. The pallet is rich and vibrant, with lots of mineral and earthy notions, giving it a somewhat similar profile to the Stones 2. This is well structured and nicely focused, but also quite ripe and expressive at the moment. Concentrated but more serious and old world than the GIII. Finishes long with deep minerality.2 people found this helpful Comment
