This was a fantastic wine. Nose is hard to discern. But after a 30 min decant, the wine opens beautifully to ripe blue fruit, blackberry and hints of red fruit. Lovely mouthfeel. Just easy drinking, great ripe fruit forward wine. I see why JS gave it a 99. Loved it! — 22 days ago
Gorgeous nose of ripe apple, pear, spring flower blooms. Great mouthfeel with bursting flavors of peach, pear, passion fruit, apple, pineapple, and a bit of a tart lemon. Drinking fantastic here in 2024. — 24 days ago

Ripe black fruit. Expected more oak, tobacco, leather but it’s really a juicy fruited lovely fruit forward wine drinking very well right now. Soft silky mouthfeel. Tannins softened very nicely. Backbone still there, would guess has 3-5 yeqrs left. Nice long finish. Holding up very well and a joy to drink now. — 20 days ago
First bottle in a while. Nose is bit muted showing notes of plum and oak. Deep dark ruby colored. Ripe plum, with cassis and blue fruit briefly appearing mid palate, black licorice, pencil shavings, blueberry pie. Soft but grippy tannins. Holding together lovely and really growing into its age, with many years left. Lovely mouthfeel, enjoyable all around and easy drinking, showing once again why it’s a house favorite. — 5 days ago
Slightly floral nose. Dark ruby. Black fruit forward, cassis, black cherry, graphite, pencil shavings, forest floor, lot of flavor going on. Soft chalky tannins give a lovely mouthfeel. Nice long enveloping finish. Fantastic second wine! — 15 days ago
After 1.5hr decant, right but beginning to express itself. The fruit is there, but a bit muted at this point, cassis, black currants. Gravely, softened but strong tannins with a tight acidic backbone. This is gonna be really good in 10 years. — 24 days ago
