  I have tried it twice in the last year. Both times, the wine is quite enjoyable to drink. Earthy, floral, red and dark fruits, very effortless. Very Napa like. You can drink this by itself. Big but well controlled tannin, acidity, good finish.

  First impression was being impressed by how approachable this is already. Dark red color with some purple hues. Nose is all tobacco, rich dark fruits and a touch or vanilla and expresso. Upon tasting we get all those notes as well. Blackcurrant, Blackberries and some Cassis. Velvety tannins, a very smooth wine. We compared it to a 2019 SuperTuscan (Saffredi) and this was much more ready to drink now than the Tuscan. At around 100$ if you're lucky, this is a baller Bordeaux. Very well made and extremely enjoyable now. Not sure how age will change this as it may lack a bit of acidity to be able to withstand a long while in the cellar.

  Pulled the cork on the bottle accessed by Coravin in January and May. Consistent experience with those notes.
  
  A touch flamboyant, with fruit and new oak, albeit backed by considerable underpinning substance. The longer this breathed the better it showed, including its medium plus cellaring potential. Featuring greater range and depth than the same vintage Potensac, Lilian Ladouys, and Cos d'Estournel.
  
  Recommend holding for several years. Likely to enter peak form after 2035. Solid QPR.

  Deep ruby colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with red plum, blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, black pepper, vanilla, smoke and chocolate. Pronounced taste of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, black pepper, licorice, vanilla, smoke and chocolate. Long and dry finish. High acidity. High tannins. Medium body. An outstanding St. Julien with great potential. Drink in seven to twenty years. Goes well with beef or lamb.
