  Decanted and drank over the next 24 hours. I’m a big fan of this producer and I think it’s a fantastic St. Emilion. Not a HUGE development over the 24 hours, but delicious nonetheless. Well balanced. Has a structure that will continue to age well.

  Nice big nose of fruit black and purple fruit. Really nice palate with bright red fruit, pepper, and some cedar. Refined but present tannins. Really good right now. Could be even more exceptional in the coming years.

  Still quite young, chalky tannins coat the palate. A bit light mid palate. Wonderful aromas of blueberry and dark fruit. A nice zesty finish from the medium-high acidity. This wine needs a few more years to calm down, it's drinking like it was just bottled yesterday. Will revisit in 2026

  A vibrant and lush nose of currant, blueberry, and quartz offers promise. The wine has a tight but light-on-its-feet flavor profile of similar flavors but the hotness is a detractor. The wine label states the alcohol content is 14.5 to 16.5%... this is readily apparent after tasting and I am inclined to drink my remaining bottles over the next year or two.

  Open and tasted on and off for over a week. Cork replaced and stored at cellar temp. Last drop was the best. Needs to lay down but should come together very nicely. @$75 this is a great bottle of wine.
