    April 9, 2024 - Soft and easy with full, ripe and voluptuous black fruits supported by melting tannins. From the mid-palate onwards it developed mocha and black chocolate leading to a full and satisfying lingering finish. Plenty of life ahead but so approachable and drinkable now. CHP 94 pts

    February 24, 2024 - Nice effort. Was much more integrated after a 2 hr decant. Still love the 2016 better but this wine will be very good for a long time I think.

    February 23, 2024 - Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (R&D’s): Double blind. Dark color with notes of currants, mocha, mulberry and spice with an herbal/greenish undertone that I find very appealing. Full-bodied and firm, with a youthful structure and black fruit lingering on the finish. On the first pass I was convinced this was a young Napa blend with a nice dollop of franc. It wasn’t until just before we began discussing these that its origin began to reveal itself. A chocolate note joined the black fruit, but the palate lagged behind and lacked a certain generosity of fruit that made me think perhaps it was Bordeaux. Fine, sweet tannin with flavors of black currant and green tobacco. I feel great that I guessed 2009 Pauillac, though I never suspected PLL, which is a property I have pegged on several prior occasions. I don’t know how this bottle was prepared for the tasting other than I was told it had not been decanted. Still youthful and tight, if I had any of this I would hold off another five years at least…will be a stunner when it reaches its peak. (R&D)

    January 30, 2024 - Very much in the style of the vintage in that it’s ripe and layered with a certain warmth and supple texture even if the tannins are still substantial. However, like the best ‘09’s, it shows decent acidity and a nice minty freshness on the finish. I liked it a lot and I think it will grow very complex with more bottle age. 94+

    December 18, 2023 - 고백하자면 보르도 와인에 대한 흥미가 떨어져있었다.
    왠지 모르겠지만 그냥 비슷한 것 같기도 해서 말이다.
    결론부터 말하자면 잘 만든 클라레를 최근에 안 마셔서 그랬나보다.

    코에서는 오크, 삼나무 향이 꽤 직관적으로 느껴진다.
    이어서 검은 계열의 과실향도 나기 시작하는데 이것도 꽤 매력적이다.
    시간이 지나면 가죽향이 선명해지기 시작하는데 이를 위해서라도 한두시간은 기다려봐도 좋겠다.

    팔렛에서는 보르도 와인에서 가장 컨트롤하기 어려운 산도를 잘 제어한 느낌이다.
    지나치게 강해서 밸런스를 깨지도, 너무 약해서 재미를 떨어뜨리지도 않는다.
    조금 아쉬운 건 시간이 지나면 향은 좋아지는데 산도도 조금 튀는 느낌이긴 했다.

    입을 조이는 듯한 탄닌이 있는데 이걸 생각해보면 조금 더 숙성해도 좋을지 모르겠다.
    바디는 미디엄에서 풀 사이로 느껴졌는데 이것도 나쁘지 않았다.
    정리해보면 따서 한두시간안에 마시면 제일 좋겠다.
