March 26, 2024 - Canon vs. Duffau-Lagarrosse 2009-2020 tasted blind (Fribourg): Medium plus garnet, rich and ripe, very generous, beautiful aromas of ripe plums without being overripe. A very full throttle wine, dark chocolate on the finish with toast and caramel. Certainly plush but the package works.

January 23, 2024 - Pop and pour, takes 2 hours to open up to reveal a terrific forward young nose of dark berries, plum, floral notes, hint of green. Full body, very concentrated, palate coating lush ripe fruit welk-balanced with acidity and fine tannins. Too young for any aged complexity. Long finish. Expect improvement over the next 5-10 years. Excellent-outstanding.

April 25, 2023 - An Exploration of 2009 St. Emilions (plus a few bonuses) (Los Olivos, CA): Served blind. The nose was quite offputting, either VA or Brett (or both?), kind of vegetal (think mushrooms and onions). Disjointed on the palate as well, rustic, textured and ungenerous, almost astringent. I was disappointed when the label was revealed, as this same bottling had shown beautifully 2-1/2 years ago, besting the Pichon Baron and Trotanoy served alongside it.

March 14, 2023 - nicely balanced nose of ripe black plumbs and cassis - full body of ripe sweet fruit - long 20-30 second finish - drinking beautifully now, but no way the drinking window is finished at 2020- give it another 3-5 years to fully develop the complexity that underlies the abundant fruit in this wine

December 22, 2022 - Inky dark, very intense plum and purple fruit. No doubt classy and elegant yet very primary, and to me a bit too extracted. Perhaps in 10+ years it would be a true beauty but not at the moment.
