  December 17, 2017 - Ripe, soft, fresh, energetic wine with a plummy, truffle and licorice charm, that males you want to discover what's buried below the plums and dark chocolate. Tahis is drinking quite nicely today.

  March 4, 2016 - Likey. Looks like a nice aged French wine. A bit dark dusty, dusty bricking. Day II now it is throwing off less of that stinky Pomerol nose, bit of a chemical thing happening. NIce rich, complex palate. Some greenish thingy, big fruit, some Some barnyard on the entry, then glycerin fruit, big juiciness, some sour tannins, then dusty scrape. Nicccce.
  
  Eating w some Belgium chocolate now....Not sure this a great combo....adds some nice angle to the fruit. But this wine was signing w the fatty ribeye earlier. Drink now over 2 days, or enjoy w a decant.
