Really liked this one. Red fruit, tannic and a little jammy — 3 years ago
2020 vintage. Tasted over the course of 1.5 hours. Medium body. Darker fruits (similar to Troplong-Mondot but less structure) evident from the get go. Plenty of upfront and mid-palate grip with things softening a bit in the later going. Picked up two bottles from Costco...seem to remember it retailing somewhere between $26-$33 a bottle. Definitely worth that pricing and beyond but this specimen wasn't hitting the high score/notes suggested by the Neal Martin review or Delectable others on this particular vintage. Maybe my palate was blown out by the previous wine...a 2019 Barolo. Perhaps. Will likely roll back and pick up two more bottles just to have laying around since it was drinking nicely anyway for the price. Was unfamiliar with this producer and a bit more "practice" won't hurt. 11.26.24. — a month ago

One of my first mondrieuse. Good dark fruit, earth and grippy tannins — 3 years ago
Smooth like velvet, reminiscing Bordeaux back five years ago. Love it. 25/3-2023 — 2 years ago
2015 st emilion never fails. A bit thin but subtle tannins and lovely Rosy/flowery finish — 3 years ago

One of the best wines I’ve tasted all year especially in the sub $100 price range
Smells like fertilizer and funk (in a good way) but tastes like blackberries and cherries with hints of soil — 2 days ago
