August 19, 2023 - So much intense acidity here with a great cherry/mineral crunch on the finish. Great wine but drunk too young. 93+

May 2, 2022 - Pausing for the Cause 2022 (Chicago, IL): A little more heightened in aromatics and structure than the Chênes alongside. Definitely cut of the same cloth with the red fruit and structure. A more contemplative wine than most on the tables tonight, I wish I was able to give this a little more attention.

November 19, 2021 - Decanted. Had this with a dinner with bold, Asian-inspired flavors, which — despite the pork dish — was certainly not an ideal pairing. Regardless, I must say that this was rather disappointing. Felt a tad oaky, overly concentrated, and without layers of specificity that I had hoped for.

February 5, 2021 - Bottle breathe for 1.5 hour. Nose is a bit reserved and closed. Lack of freshness but rather matured tone with wood and some medicinal taste with some red fruit and soil. Medium finishing. Pretty classic style
