November 13, 2021 - Opened to cook with, having zero expectation. It was quite tasty, not over the hill. An entry level Bordeaux with some age that has hung in there quite nicely. Not going to save them but plenty good to cook with and drink while cooking
January 5, 2019 - Slightly acidic and sour, seems like any fruit is muted, almost entirely olive/green pepper. Maybe just past it's time...did not enjoy it.
May 2, 2017 - Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium-plus expressiveness, plum, black berry, green olive, and tobacco. Palate: Medium bodied, spice, red and black fruit attack, fruit and spice persist through the back-end providing good length through a 30 - 45 second finish. An entry level Bordeaux from an exceptional vintage which is drinking extremely well at the moment.
March 31, 2015 - Very delicious right now
March 13, 2015 - Good food wine. Had with lamb leg for Don's birthday.
February 20, 2015 - Dense and almost woody..... strong cherry overtones. Decent. Almost too old however..... Maybe waited too long.
January 4, 2015 - Decent Bordeaux from left bank. Readily quaffable not overly superb. Drank horizontal.....
January 4, 2015 - I don't know much about French wines, but my guess is a cab/merlot blend. Very smooth and elegant, medium finish and a pleasure to drink, but lacking overall testicles. Not sure it will improve, drink now
September 16, 2014 - Quality juice, silly QPR at $14. Floral nose with a little cherry, bright acids, medicinal notes, with big leafy and fleshy tannins. Seems to have enough depth for future days, but a little austere right now, and it even shuts down some with air. Hard to believe but this needs more time. I'm waiting another 4-5 years for my next one.
March 17, 2014 - Good value. Gotten better over time with at least 3-5 years left. Black fruit with good structure and soft tannins.
