The vintage was poor, producer is superb. Reflection and introspection leads me to regret. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t go here. In my opinion, the vintage presents too many fault lines to be addressed. — a month ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano, yes. I found this in my cellar. It certainly improved with air, but directionally, I’m leaving the score as was.

So consistent. Lovely texture and weight, without being OTT.. very well executed. Pineapple and meyer lemons create urgency on the mid-palate. This is a innovative variation on chard. Take a look, you may be surprised. — 15 days ago

Boys weekend in Detroit.
A very lifted expression of burgundy. So much focus and separation on the mid palate. Waxy lemons define the texture on the palate, which then combine with white fruits. Superb length on the finish. Moderate acidity and delicate sweetness bring home a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Even better on day two.

This producer is in a class of its own.
No signs of maturity. Pure notes of saddle leather and oak on the nose. A pure expression of Bdx with balance and power. Mid palate displays mature cherries and a hint of olives. Grainy tannins play second fiddle to prominent acidity.
My mental shortcut here is; GET SOME!
Thanks Rick.

Big surprise and very impressed for such a young burg. Delicate notes of cola and black cherries on the nose and palate. Plush presentation on the mid palate with weight and a velvety texture. Relaxed tannins and moderate acidity make this a buy at the right price. — 13 days ago

Very impressive given that I pulled the cork one week prior. The wine held up superbly. For the regular chard, I loved this example. — 19 days ago

Ron R. Think you may have missed my email about the 2022 Ladybug. There is one bottle sitting in the vault here in San Diego with your name on it. My gift to you should you actually make it to SD.

Scott, I’m lame with a knee that required surgical intervention. I appreciate your touch and will take you up on your kind offer. Keep that bottle for me. I’ll bring something equally grand. All my best to you and yours…
