  April 5, 2019 - Great nose of mushrooms and chocolatey notes. Still some tannins but really looking forward to see where this is going. Think those mushroom notes will be profound in another few years.

  August 17, 2014 - Funkiness on the nose. Tannic. Really mellowed out when aerated.

  July 14, 2013 - The price does not match the quality of this wine. Good, but not great considering it is $40 in Canada.

  July 11, 2013 - Nice, but not nearly as nice as the '05 Bila Haut I had the previous night. A little thin, metallic and sour, but some nice tannins on the backside and subtle fruit. Feels like this is going downhill.

  March 15, 2010 - Ruby/garnet in color. Musty earthy nose with a bit of fruit sneaking through. Tart, tannic front palate giving way to a fairly soft rounded mid palate of red fruit. Moderate finish. A bit off the beaten path (in a good way).
