    March 14, 2021 - Lovely expression of a Bordeaux blend. Extremely well balanced. Still plenty of fruit. Could go another 1015 years in my opinion. Just simply lovely.

    March 14, 2021 - Drinking quite well now. Still plenty of fruit. Estimate this has another 10 to 15 years to go. Just a lovely Bordeaux expression. Tasted with a 1987 Opus and a 2003 Poetry (purple label) and the Facets was on par with the Poetry in depth. Both much better than the Opus.

    April 26, 2019 - This was dark garnet colored and medium full bodied, bold and bright vibrant, slightly obtuse, black and red currant and ripe plum fruits with accents of bright floral and cedar, mocha chocolate and notes of anise with moderate lingering tannins on the structured finish.

    February 14, 2018 - Awesome wine. Totally at peak. Rich and full bodied. An eclectic blend that paired well with steak and lobster. Dark notes, smooth finish. Wish I had more than two left!
