April 17, 2024 - Mid garnet in the glass. Nose of perfume, red fruit and root beer?
Palate demonstrates great balance and backing acidity. Wish I had more descriptors but it's an easy 96 for me tonight.4 people found this helpful Comments (2) -

April 7, 2024 - I decanted at 5 PM and it only began to integrate and soften around 10 PM. Big cedar on the nose, but tight on the palette. I can’t tell if this will improve with age or should just be given six hours to decant and drink

February 2, 2024 - Bordeaux first-growth lunch: A serious, structured wine with the classic pencil lead marker of Pauillac. Fruit was a little roasted that made me think a warm vintage like '05. Clearly had more depth than the '03 HB alongside but this was so brooding that it was a rather difficult drink to me.
