Jan 6th, 2019Still young. But classic. Scorched earth, tweed jacket, mulberry, spice, leather. Insane concentration and finesse. Terrific velvety tannins. Top stuff.

1 person found it helpfulNov 1st, 2016Incredible wine. Drinking perfectly now. Intense nose of blackcurrant and horse dung; on the palate, a superb emulsion of liquorice, cassis, and dark fruits developing into a silky display of chocolate orange backed by fine grain tannins. Finish just keeps on giving. Excellent.

May 13th, 2016A great old school Graves composed of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a clean earth and bright mineral nose that was nicely open and framed by a little bit of vanilla. The fruit was sweet and rich, the texture decadent, and the overall impression as big as a California wine. On the back end it focused into pure Graves minerality… I wish I had bought cases of this on release and will be looking out for it in the future!

Jun 25th, 20132000. Drink now. Perfect spot. I didn’t plan ahead and stand it up all night prior to opening - wish I had. High toned yet sone dark notes. Singular Bordeaux aromatics. Gone are the days when we get Bordeaux like this for $40.
