Classic Bordeaux flavor profile, well structured, good value. — a month ago
First sip was incredibly smooth. Gave Chelsey the remaining wine from the bottle after decanting and she said it tasted like it'd be good on ice cream.
First sip from the decanter was smooth and luscious. Not my all time favorite wine but I'll certainly never turn it down. — 3 months ago
3.4. Very good red Bordeaux blend. On sale for $24.99. — 2 days ago
2018 vintage. Last tasted 2.18.22. This is the (regrettably) last bottle. Honed and focused. Some (there wasn’t an overt amount to begin with) baby fat dropped. Transitioning to earth and minerals and, in doing so, adding depth. Medium body. Will be on the search for more. 6.11.24. — a month ago

BIG fan of this wine. Red fruit notes, but not too sweet. Tannins aren’t too strong, but enough for a little kick before a smooth finish. The aging is perfect on this, nice hints of Merlot and it’s hitting its peak. Great wine. — 4 months ago
Medium garnet , ruby core , medium wide garnet rim . Touch of wood spice at first then , dark plum and blackberry, grilled meat . On the palate good density of dark fruits, with a slightly gritty grafite , oyster shell note, spice and cocoa. Slightly dry tannin and balanced acidity . Finishes slightly short , a little chalky also . Overall well made but just misses the extra complexity and density of a better vintage . This is in its drinking window , now and over the next 5-8 years . — a month ago
An oldie left from Gordon’s and the little Bordeaux is drinking so nicely, even on day three in Eto and the earthiness of day one is not as prominent but the ripe fruit mineral nose and balance and complex palate the same. Deal! Last one! — 4 months ago

2020 vintage. Still nice. Checking off plenty of boxes but missing length of pleasure/enjoyment in a few areas. Not sure it improves but def holds steady as a big step above a daily drinker but not as engaging as a decent, classified growth. Not as gratuitous as some previous efforts but plenty pretty. 6.13.24. — 25 days ago
