October 18, 2023 - Served from Magnum. Lovely. good for 5 more years from that format
July 24, 2023 - Tired while cork was in perfect condition. Not sure if storage or super warm vintage but caution
January 28, 2023 - The cork was soaked on the sides. Dark coloured with a hint of brown. Nose was sweet almost figgy. Incredibly smooth in the mouth. Spice, garrigue, cedar but also some sweetness and port like notes This bottle was past peak but still incredibly enjoyable.
December 9, 2022 - Superb aged CNdP.
Mid weight, lovely rich fruit and smooth as silk texture.
September 23, 2022 - Beautiful CNdP.
Lovely mid weight texture.
Glorious dark fruit.
February 14, 2022 - Fully oxidized. Unfortunately had none of the character past tasters mentioned. If you have a bottle, drink it now--hooefullly yours faired better than mine!
January 18, 2022 - This was funky. We didn’t smell but we tasted TCA but the cork seemed clean. I still can’t quantify what it was but the wine was meh or worse. Saddle and cedar nez with the funky, old barrel TCA in the mouth with zip, old wood or cardboard and pepper. If you have this stuff, you’d best drink soon. Fading and cloudy in color. Just not great for the $.
December 12, 2021 - Tons of garrigue; mixed lavender, juniper, thyme, rosemary and sage; this is not for wine novices. It has a reddish-brown mahogany color and massive cedar flavor. Scents of wild herbs and spices with great old vine character. You should drink this wine sooner rather than later.
November 15, 2021 - Huge nose of soy sauce, huge nose of ripe red cherries and BBQ spices, roasted meat... Super delicious ripe red cherries, sweet and salty finish, soy sauce, BBQ meat.
January 23, 2021 - Decanted 90 minutes. Very smooth, well-integrated acid and tannins. Wonderful flavor, dark fruit was well balanced with minerality and tar on the finish. Would rate it higher, but body and finish were lacking. Would buy more of this without question, but lacking the powerful finish I'd associate with a higher rated bottle.
