  April 5, 2024 - Absolutely gorgeous wine. Refined, impeccable balance, layered with soft textures of rounded out tannins, luscious black fruit and a long finish. Drinking this wine felt like drinking the softest, smoothest piece of finely- grained sand paper, the sands representing different smooth textures in the mouthfeel. Gidon and Heekyung were blown away by this wine tonight. Paired with grilled Korean beef and marinated pork at the steakhouse.

  February 2, 2024 - This is beautiful and great value. It's tasting great now (although with noticeable heat) and will continue to improve. Notes cream, vanilla, cigar box, violets and floral, and fruits. Tannins are round and finish is long.

  January 28, 2024 - Very ripe. Dark red fruits, garrigue, orange peel, luxardo cherry, sweet tannins, nice juicy finish. Acidity compliments fruit and prevents from being flabby. Lovely, but I imagine this will be even better in 5+ years. Hold.

  December 25, 2023 - Maybe it's because it's Christmas and I am feeling more like watching The Miracle on 34th Street than Diehard, feeling more like Santa than Scrooge but I really need to sing the praises of this wine . Such a long way to go and develop but already so precise , so evocative of place , this wine will become very special. The quality to price ratio is off the charts great, and although hailing from an incredibly famed and hallowed family, I can't but help consider just how much more expensive such quality would demand in say St Julien........I had it with a very simple roast lamb and honestly it was perfect. If you have these in your cellar you can treasure them with ease or drink them right now with a wonderfully clear conscience.....
