    May 19, 2023 - Pop and pour. Aromas of blackberry, iron, cherry and currant. Flavors of iron, smoke, blackberry and currant. Ends with a 15-20 second finish with blackberry and cherry notes.

    April 20, 2023 - Value Bordeaux. Needs 2h to open. Intense colour. Slight dark cassis, light barique with light alkohol in the nose. Ripe Cab-Sauvignon driven wine. Bone dry, slight bitterness, perfect for a meat or mediteranian dish. If compare with Oversee Cabs, it is more elegant and dry. No sweetness. 2018 was an extreamly hot Bx vintage. This is a ripe Cab-Sauvignon driven red with a cool climate attitude. Drink this red now or in the next 5-8 years.

    July 13, 2022 - Had it at a tasting. Was given one freshly opened and one with 2 hour carafe. No discernable nose on the first and the flavor was "flat" without character. After 2 hours, nose of dark berry. Taste is dry with notes of raisins and rubber or tobacco, like a Priorat from Spain. Probably needs 6 years and then it could be a 90-92.
