Great concentration. Ripe fruit. At the stage where there's still lots of delicious primary fruit but some secondary flavors now coming in. Drinks well now. But can each further.

90-91. Sweet bouquet of dark plums and earth. Medium bodied with good ripe fruit. Very similar to their 2009 prix merlot in flavors and maturity. Medium to full bodied. Flavors of earth, forest floor, dark plums, hints of smoke, minerals, spice. Long finish with some tannins. Drinks well now. If the tannins fade before the fruit, It should improve further. Drink now to 2029, probably longer.

Dense ripe and concentrated. Jammy briary berry fruit. Very youthful but very accessible. Drinks beautifully now but has the structure to age longer. Drink now until 2026 possibly longer
