    September 14, 2020 - Very nice bordeaux. Medium body, medium finsish. Cherries all over. Very fresh. Good grip tannins which needed 2 h of decanting. Wont make very old bones but no hurry for the next 5 - 10 years.

    September 17, 2018 - Truffle, plum, jam, smoke, chocolate and black licorice scents are there from the moment you pop a cork. The wine is lush round, fat and juicy. On the palate the wine is loaded with dark chocolate, salty tannins and ripe, spicy fruits. Drink it now, or wait another year or two, and it could be even better.

    July 23, 2013 - The first vintage to include the .5 hectares of 55 year old, Cabernet Franc vines purchased the year before. This brought the blend to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The wine is filled with fresh, sweet black cherries, plum, chocolate, smoke, tobacco and earth. On the palate, the wine is soft, smooth and round.

    January 19, 2013 - Dark red. Plum, raspberry, currant, vanilla and licorice. Lots of power and depth. One feels the modern vinification. Reminds me of one of the big Tuscan merlots (Messorio & co.). Still good wine but lacking the elegance

    March 11, 2011 - Coffee, vanilla, licorice, black raspberry and smokey aromas opens up a silky, opulently textured wine that finishes with sweet, blackberry, chocolate and plum flavors.
