9.0

Spicy red fruit, mostly cherry. Still quite a few tannins for a 10 year old. — 4 months ago

Very nice old Bordeaux. A bit of old musty cellar at first but settled down to a very nice Bordeaux. No raisin or prunes flavors at all. Did not decant. Very impressive for a 34 old wine. — 4 years ago

9.2

Delicious. A lot of fruit upon opening, mostly cherry and blackberry, a little sweet at first. Much of fruit dissipated after some air, but this was a good thing as it allowed the more complex flavors to come through. Very smooth with a medium finish. Only needs decanting to manage the sediment. 70% merlot, 20% cab, 10% cab franc. — 5 years ago

Very tasty. Needs a small amount of air. Nice red fruit, medium finish. A young (2020) Rhône style blend that is very easy to drink. 51% Grenache 34% Syrah 15% Mourvèdre — 2 years ago

It was not good. Maybe we let it age too long but it had a weird pruny flavor. — 5 years ago

Only ok, probably past its time. Tart Apple flavors. Still quite a bit of acidity. Lingering finish. — 4 years ago

8.8

Very good after a lot of air. Cab dominant Bordeaux style blend. It was harsh at first but settled down after some air. Needs decanting. Medium finish. But as smooth as some other 2014 cabs. Maybe should have let it sit for a few more years. — 5 years ago

8.5

So not ready to drink right now. Needs a lot of air, and I mean hours. Bought 6 bottles so will let the others sit for a few years. Will adjust rating later. — 6 years ago
