  September 27, 2023 - The best example of this gem I have ever tasted delivered all of its spicy, red currants, green pepper, herbs, cedar, tobacco, and cigar wrapper with ease. More regal than elegant, full-bodied, and intense, with a cedar, currant and tobacco finish. Drink from 2023-2030.

  December 10, 2022 - Wood, earth, some leather and tobacco on the nose. Medium body. Soft tannins. More of an elegant style than expected. Balanced.

  September 12, 2022 - we had it just before the cos 36 and in the nose the cos was more complex then the montrose, but no oxidation , it was earthy and very wet mushrooms but not in a bad way, in the mouth it was a old wine and was less nicer to drink then the cos 31 , strange,
  the comfort in the cellar will have a huge impact of the quality of the wines , different cellar, different quality...
  drink now

  April 6, 2022 - One of the better examples I've had of this gem. The nose, with its Asian spiced, red berry, tobacco wrapper, cigar ash and herbed perfume gets the ball rolling. There is ample concentration, loads of sweet and tart, crisp red fruits and some spice on the backend. This is at peak, but if well-stored, it is worth seeking out.

  February 5, 2022 - 61s at 61 (Bourbon Steak, Aventura, Florida): While not quite as impressive to me as the Calon-Ségur, most of the others disagreed. Spicy and lingering with more than a hint of tar. Despite its blackness it is not at all dry. A bit more variety of flavor than the Calon with a sightly softer finish but that’s splitting hairs. A steak wine for sure.
