  March 3, 2024 - Wine is in a lovely place and still going strong. Not profound, but thoroughly enjoyable. Had with grilles steaks and grilled chicken in Telluride.

  July 22, 2023 - Served with ribeyes at captain's dinner middle weekend. Read quotes from Dirk Hampson and "mink lined condom". Beautiful wine in a great place: balanced and harmonious. Magnums were excellent. Two bottles needed more careful decanting.

  June 4, 2023 - Popped and poured, and drank over one hour. Great bottle and stored well. Drinking just as well, if not better than that last drunk in 2019. Bumping this up two points. Sadly this was my last bottle of five, but a good one on which to finish the run.

  January 23, 2023 - Umm, let's just say it was really friggin good. Let open about 30 mins and then it was gone within the hour. I think it has seen it's better days though. I have 2 more bottles which will be gone in the next 6 months.

  November 27, 2022 - Was not expecting much here as my experience with this producer is limited to over oaked and heavy modernistic style cabs. However this proved that 90s vintages of top flight producers can really hold their own. This was aged and mature, however showed a nice velvety quality, with silky mature berry fruit, touches of spice and a perfumed oak. Very clean, and well integrated, clearly aged yet not over the hill.
