  December 7, 2023 - Tjis had been opened the day begore and I think was beginning to tire. Suspect it would have merited a higher score when fresh. This is great wine, very open and expressive but also with real depth. 2007 is a great vintage and it shows here. Classic blackcurrant and cassis, along with earthy leather notes. The big structure is amply covered by the generous ripe fruit. Long with moderate complexity. Drink now, though will last.

  August 27, 2023 - Tight upon opening.
  Black/red fruit on the nose mostly, with some wet slate and vanilla.
  Silky texture, med+ body, med acid, med tannin.
  A beauty that needs some air to open up. Young still, and needs more bottle age. Try again in 3-5.

  November 17, 2022 - Last tasted 2013, when I thought it was too closed and tannic. It's still dark garnet opaque, with no hints of brown edges. The aroma is slow to open and subtle at first but is moderately intense after several hours, cassis and some smoky French oak, some complexity. Full but round fruit, mostly cassis, still with moderate but soft tannins that increase after 30 seconds and persist in the finish. An excellent wine but is it worth $700+ needed to buy it now? With six left of 2006 and 2007 I'd rather have the money than more of the wine, will sell the others.

  September 3, 2022 - Popped and poured. Should have decanted and given it more time to open up. No sign of aging at all -- powerful, red fruit with a hint of herbaceous earthiness, smooth and balanced.
