Very nice but not quite at the same level as the one we had a couple years ago. Certainly extremely Bordeaux in terms of typicity. Paired with some La boite peppercorn blend crusted wagyu filets from Allen brothers. Definitely ready to go, opened with cork pop for 3.5 hours and decanted for 1. — 3 months ago

Spectacular! Really wanted something special and this delivered: purchased in CdP, and lugged across the world 12 years afterwards. Showing some maturity w/med ruby colored and bricking on edges. After 30mins in decanter started showing enticingly complex nose of Chinese 5 spice, mulberry, stewed blueberry, bramble & bush, white pepper, sweet earth, baking spices, hoisin, etc. A real charmer. Med weight on palate, lithe smooth graceful regal, impeccable balance & cut. Stood up to grilled NY Strip & Filets w/sautéed shiitake, asparagus & baby potatoes. — 5 months ago

51% Merlot, 39% Cab. Two-hour decant is perfect with bison filets and rib-eye. Look, Bordeaux! — 3 years ago

It’s too young. Went great with Costco filets — 4 years ago

Paired perfectly with medium rare filets. Mild tannins for such a young Bordeaux but the Cabernet Franc gave the earthy rustic flavors that tamed the tannins and gave structure and depth to the wine. Really didn’t need decanting and was good right out of the bottle. — a year ago

Outstanding. Raspberry, pencil shavings. Dense fruit, but not overwhelming, opens to some herbs. Day 2 giving cherry and tea. Perfect for Valentine’s Day filets with Madeira mushroom sauce. — 2 years ago

Time for some Friday champagne to celebrate our garden green bean harvest to enjoy with our filets.

Very enjoyable Champange & still one of the best Champange values at $24.99.

Previous notes will suffix. Cheers! 🍾🥂
