  August 20, 2023 - Very enjoyable bottle. Decanted about two hours prior to dinner, served with filet and peppercorn sauce. Big, rich wine with plenty dark dusty fruit and nice structure. Enjoyable now, should be even better 3-5 years from now.

  June 2, 2023 - Splash decanted half the bottle and the cellar smelled like I had just pulled the cork on a young Behrens and Hitchcock from the early 2000's....Chien Lunatique or Fortunate?? Nose gushes dark, ripe black and blue fruit.
  
  While the nose might lead me to believe the wine is syrupy, it isn't as it crosses the palate. The dark black fruit is still evident, but there's lots of gravel, some young oak and enough acidity to indicate that this should be better in a few hours.

  August 5, 2022 - Wonderful floral aromas. Amazing. Color is dark nearly black in the glass. Brooding, tempting. Deep dark fruit flavors of blackberry and cassis. Tannins are still a little tight but soft and rounding out nicely. Acidity braces the structure of the wine and provides amazing freshness and liveliness. Amazing wine. Terrific.

  August 2, 2022 - Black fruits and oak. Bold, structured and full bodied with slightly elevated acidity. Young, with firm tannins. Long finish. Acidity higher second day. Needs a longer decant than one hour I gave it. Plan to hold remaining bottles a few years in hopes of more complexity/balance. Good QPR @ $55.
