This was youthful with red & black fruits, cedar, leather, mint, rich & spicy on the palate finishing with notes of graphite, floral & sweet tobacco. Impressive showing in a difficult vintage.

Celebrating with a couple of fun bottles tonight. 2 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment). A stunning dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: lightly fragrant notes of stewed red fruit, cassis, floral, little cigar box, herbaceous. Taste: silky, elegant, soft wine with a great mix of dark plum, currants, iron, scorched earth, tobacco, and cedar/bitter chocolate medium plus finish. YUM! Drinks well with the decant and more time to go.

Oct 7th, 2023Sitting back enjoying the evening waiting for another hurricane to hit later tonight. This was still youthful after 20 yrs showing notes of black & red fruit, cassis, spice box, pencil shavings, earth, mineral, leather, menthol & tobacco.

Reminiscent of our time at Chateau Latour—a classic left bank Bordeaux. Color—crimson red with light bricking. Nose—soothing perfume black cherry, pepper spice with notes of eucalyptus, cinnamon, forest floor and earth like scents. A berry fruit, cassis and cedar taste with a dry medium plus pencil lead finish. Will enjoy this wine as we await bringing in the New Year!

Jan 1st, 20211 hour decant (lots of sediment). An amazing dark ruby red color with some bricking. On the nose: nice mellow nose draws you in with sweet black cherry, eucalyptus, little funky earth, wet forest floor, and oak. Taste: silky smooth medium body wine with red berries, cedar, cassis, and a dry pencil lead medium plus finish. Pop one if you got em it will not disappoint! Cheers!
