    March 3, 2024 - Medium body wine, lighter in color. Still tasting great with a higher level of acidity. Aerated for 30 minutes and decanted. Some sediment.

    November 12, 2023 - Aerated, heavy sediment. Still full of flavor and color

    March 17, 2023 - I don’t know. Maybe I’m just too old to appreciate high end cabs. Even at 20 years old (and don’t tell me this is over the hill) it just doesn’t seemed balanced enough to provide enjoyable drinking. Good, but not worthy of cult-type prices.

    July 31, 2022 - Opened for 25 min And then double decanted for 15 min and consumed within 1.5 hours with Filet Mignon.

    We tasted it on min 25 before decanting and it was super acidic and light weigh, around min 10 the acidity went down a bit. About 40-50 min in the wine gained weight, and complexity. This is a very Bordeaux king of wine that is still drinking well but IMO is already declining.

    Drink up!

    March 1, 2022 - great bottle with plenty time still to wait
    The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. The body is full. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
