February 24, 2021 - The Merlot and Petit Verdot components are really noticeable. It did take about 3 hours for the plum, elderberry, cherry pit, milk chocolate, and other flavors to really pop. Before that time, the wine was pleasant enough to drink (89-90), but not nearly where it arrived to later. Still plenty of tannin structure.

December 9, 2016 - We both thought this was delicious and ready to drink. But it will last many years yet, as the color suggests a much younger wine.

February 11, 2015 - Very solid Bordeaux, initially has a lot of chewy tannins, smooth on the finish. Solid wine.
