Classic BDX . Cassis and thyme on the nose. Cedar and hints of graphite in the background. Lots of acid with medium tannins which shows its youth but also it’s backbone for aging. Fantastic young Bordeaux , great structure and balanced. 13.5% — 7 months ago

Super herbaceous. Thyme, soy sauce , lush fruit, fig, Jammy, not a ton of acid and tannin on the 2020. Definitely more savory Vs the FAY which I also love. Big long finish that lingers. 14.8% — 9 months ago

Wonderfully balanced Syrah from Sonoma. Smoke, earth, leather, smoked meats , beef jerky and pepper on the nose. On the palate, lots of cranberry, medium minus in acidity but a lingering finish despite the lack of big tannins. 12.5% but this a huge intensity. Northern Rhone in style, loving this bottle. — a year ago
