Oct 17th, 2014Delicious combination of savory and ripe fruit flavors- really lovely integration- the plush tannins and so little greenness may be the clue it is from 2003

Aug 8th, 2014Very 2003. Plush, leaning a touch overripe for my palate, but still well-managed. On the nose: dense black fruit, with loads of plum. Lovely density, weight and acidity. Comes off more elegant on the palate. Softer tannin than expected on the finish, but maybe it was just covered up by ripe fruit.

Jan 15th, 2023Beautiful wine, fruit, alcohol, subtle chalk and incredibly balanced, just kept getting better and better, went really well with the fois and duck. Really getting into 2003 Bordeauxs
