January 1, 2022 - 3 hour decant insufficant to tame the tannins, acidic finish, funky noise, hopefully constrained to this bottle

September 4, 2021 - The wine looks inky colored. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like toast, blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like black currant (cassis), blackberry and blueberry. The body is medium/full.

April 24, 2020 - Really wonderful value. Mature nose with what seems like a heavy oak influence. Soft entry and tamed tannins. A real great value for a mature Bordeaux.

January 18, 2020 - Decanted over three days. Purple color, extracted wine bearing dark fruit to the nose and palate with shades of oak. Tannins well integrated leaving a dark lush fruit over oak. Good everyday wine with primary pleasure. Good QPR at $30. Drink up now.
