This was the 05. Still apparently made in tiny personal quantities. Initially tight but opens up to a lovely smoky whole-cluster nose. A little early still but not built for the ages in spite of the vintage. Should be really nice in 3-ish yrs. — 10 years ago

Tasty with an exotic spice nose & waxy medium-bodied texture. Not life-changing but very fun. — 10 years ago

'09 base, opened yesterday and was tart & severe. Beautiful tonight but still for acid lovers - I would give these 2-3 yrs — 10 years ago

Not usually a fan of super-cuvees but this was terrific. Very soft and ready, not one for the cellar imho. — 10 years ago

A recent btl of this was incredible - tried to repeat but this was more wound up. Delicious now, will be monumental in time — 10 years ago

The 2012 is scary great, but needs a few years. Or open a day in advance. — 10 years ago
