Garagiste mystery. Really happy about this one. Rhys, pax, Arnot roberts, and Jolie laide style. Olives, dark fruits, stewed tomato, rosemary. So freaking perfect with steak. Brightness of fruit and acidity seemed to improve with a few hours of air. Maybe blew off some reduction or funk? Love it. — 2 days ago
Deep purple in color.
Fruity and easy drinking right out of the bottle
Rich and extracted. Smooth and elegant. Showing nice complexity and balance. Spicy and entertaining.
Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

A delicious Napa Cabernet, and better with airtime. I've had many different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Tasted four #piedrasassi side by side horizontal this was the best. All four were a little #brett Definitely the best in my opinion. Delicious #Syrah with a little bit of everything and balanced. — 2 months ago
After 2 hours in the decanter 2015 Chaillot is showing beautifully, fully open and giving wafting distinctive Allemand aromas with a seductive, mineral inflicted palette and fine grained tannins. It shows the warmth of the vintage but not at all hot, and its liquid rock minerality and floral lift adds a seamless balance to its fruit character. This is going to keep getting better. Love these wines. — a month ago

Dark garnet color. Complex aromas of lavender, violets, rose petals, red cherries and cinnamon. Red, blue and black berry fruit flavors with touches of baking spices, orange zest and fresh basil. Beautiful earthy note on the long finish. Medium bodied with soft tannins tannins and nicely balanced acidity. Delicate but bold at the same time. Excellent! — 5 months ago
"Odedi"
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Showing a gorgeous nose, once it opens up.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and nicely balanced.
Showing blackberries, black currants, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10-year-old is drinking very nicely now, and probably drinking at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next couple of years.
Showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity. This 2015 is showing a lot of sediments. Easy drinking, soft and smooth with good structure.
Fruit forward, elegant and spicy. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.
