Fresh biscuit, almond paste, mushroom. Ginger spice. New oak regime. Creamy rich mouthfeel with delicious oak, hitting on the mid-palate with effortless transitions into a honey-ginger gelato finish. Spiciness carries through. I want to drink this with Thanksgiving. 75% Sav Blanc, 25% Semillion. — 5 years ago
Beautiful garnet color in the glass. Subtle aromas of blue and red fruits with very slight hints of licorice. Elegant flavors of cassis, raspberries and some earthiness with a firm tannic backbone. Nicely integrated with a real sense of where this wine came from. The finish lingers with some oak and acidity coming thru with fruit. Bordeaux has not been my favorite in the past but I am trying to learn more about it. Cheers everyone! — 6 years ago

Toasty, but integrated, softens with air. Roses meet dark forest berries, blackcurrant, mocha, and tobacco. Fresh, juicy with balanced tannin and linear acidity. Touch of heat but the finish builds. Opened with time in the glass. Will age 5+ years. Second label. — 7 years ago

Have had the 2009 vintage twice, in 2024 at a tasting and in early 2025.  The first was the best of the tasting, and the second was a fine compliment to spring leg of lamb.  dark fruit and smooth tannins. $68 when purchased in 2024.  — 8 days ago
