  September 7, 2020 - Need to be drunk now! Lovely resolved tannins but just about hanging on. No fireworks

  August 9, 2017 - Leafy and rustic. Lots of hard edges. Quite a clumsy wine.

  September 24, 2011 - A wonderful lifted nose of cherry, cranberry, turmeric, and sous-bois. Initially the taste disappoints. Tannins hit hard on the front of the palate which leaves a chalky mouth puckering finish. As you get acclimated to the tannins you do get some of the underlying fruit but very nuanced. I wonder if 99 wines are even open for business. This is one of the latest examples where the wine is awkward and the tannins overwhelm the wine. Is it dried up and should have been drunk much earlier? Is it just closed and not ready? Or is it done? Not sure since I don't have enough experience with 99s. The wine in the end is awkward with acidity and tannins masking any enjoyment. Truly disappoints given the promise on the nose. The delicacy of the perfumed notes on the nose get crushed by the tannins and acidity.

  June 16, 2009 - Much better than last bottle tasted. Still very rustic but some fruit has emerged to balance the dry tannins.
