Berry and rich flavors at first taste, then more leather and spice later with a nice long finish. Lingers in your palate with lovely complexity — 4 years ago

This is an excellent bottle of wine to drink after your husband crashes your brand new car into the side of our garage door. No he was not drinking prior to said accident — 8 years ago

A farewell dinner for a good friend returning to France with his family after establishing the most convivial auberge in town. Warmed up with a fun raspberry-charged Côtes de Blaye then delved into this Saint-Émilion grand cru. A right-bank Bordeaux blend of Merlot & Cabernet Franc that holds surprisingly luscious deep graphite alongside its dense dark fruit & hints of pralines and mahogany. Paired delightfully with duck confit, among other scrumptious plates. :) ...a great "until we meet again" dinner! — 9 years ago
