  October 8, 2017 - Not terrible, but not very enjoyable (to me) either. Very "green" especially upon first opening. Green bell pepper was the primary aroma I got early on, and while it faded a bit and revealed some other more interesting tertiary notes, that's most of what I got from it.

  September 11, 2015 - PNP: Cassis and leather. Quite dense. Fresh acidity with marked tannins. Juicy and youthful. Long. Felt this should be cellared another 4-5 years. Day 2: Left overnight, it had opened up somewhat. Still plenty of cassis, but more earthy/banyard notes. Tannins still some flexing towards the finish. More velvety. Would still recommend cellaring to catch further upside, although this will never be up there of course. A nice, reliable claret that I think will pair well with beef.

  September 6, 2014 - Tasted blind. Thought it was a 1990 BDX. Very good. Fennel seed on the nose. Needs a few more years.
