Excellent! It took very little time to breathe which was unexpected for a 2011. We will be buying more of this if we can find it. — 9 days ago
1982 vintage. Above average fill. Cork 98% saturated. Decanted and throwing a mix of chunky and sandy sed. Tasted after 15 minutes. Dark-fruited nose. Still medium body. Any overt fruit is gonzo and this specimen ended up as more muscular than remembered with notable balance. Tannic skeleton definitely in place. Least favorite 1st growth overall but this was a great showing. In a sweet spot currently and likely to hold here without drop off for another 4-5 years. 6.1.24. — 16 hours ago
Plenty of life here. Pairs well with expensive cigars! Cheers! — 13 days ago
deep ruby, med+ black fruit aroma, fig, black currant, woodsy and some oak on the nose apparently French. Med+ acidity, med+ tannin, deep flavors. Excellent. — a month ago
1995 vintage. Decanted and throwing appropriate sed. Cork and fill both above average. Tasted immediately after decanting. Massive, dark fruits coddled with aggressive tannins. Fleeting taste but suggested an easy two decades ahead with push and promise. 5.17.24. — 15 days ago
Balanced with oaky berry finish — 3 months ago

1986 vintage, Above average fill. Excellent cork with bottom quarter fully saturated. Decanted with respectable sed. Dark cherry skins color. Tasted after 15 mins. Light-medium body. Nose the usual aged/faintly cigar box intro. Flavors melded together nicely but ever so slightly tart. Delicate, long finish. Thinking the tartness would buff out after 45 minutes open but no chance to prove that theorem. 6.1.24. — 16 hours ago
