  October 26, 2020 - Yet another great half- bottle of this. Amazingly consistent, everybody loved it and had it in their “top four” (of 10 wines tasted). Now down to my last one or two. 94+

  December 4, 2018 - Yet another spectacular half bottle of this. Reeks of class; autumnal splendor and sous bois with the volume turned up!!! Beetroot, worcestershire and celery salt; umami baby! Roundest and full fruited one in a long time.

  September 22, 2018 - Shared with Xavier94. This is the most consistently excellent and reliable wine I have had the privilege to purchase and drink over a number of years. Even more amazing that it's been (mainly) from 375ml splits. Spectacular wine with all the autumnal stuff I love. I'm down to my last precious few.

  September 22, 2018 - Another great showing of this wine; lots of savory beef broth, onion compote, mushroom/truffle interplay with French Onion Soup and a strong smoky, almost hickory smoke impression with autumnal flavors, decaying leaves and fungal-tinged woodsy impressions. Plush, round, rich and regal! Delicious and intense and certainly has been consistantly Grand Cru quality tasted any number of times. Classic profile here than never seems to get old!
