Drink a fino but hallucinate a red. This persistently salty, minerally, red-fruited wonder was shockingly mid+ weight with full, round mouthfeel at….11.5%. No typo. Dreamy stuff. — 10 days ago

Well well well. Like a Morey but with forest fruit. Incredibly elegant wine, harnessing wild, crunchy red-black fruit underpinned by a stony forest floor thing. I’d love to hide this in a grand cru burg tasting; the style reminds me of 80s Rapet Corton, the terroir is unquestionably something else. Fabulous and unexpected. — 12 days ago

Fine if a touch disappointing. Years ago (maybe the 2000) this was stellar midweek drinking. This was extract-heavy and fairly unbalanced. Not a bad wine just not the shocking QPR classic claret of yesteryear. — 12 days ago

Young and highly quaffable. Plenty of stuffing to age into something serious. — 12 days ago

Still wildly young, needs serious air. Very dense fine-grained stucture, blue fruit, hot stones, cedary. Drinking well bit likely has the stuffing for a very long haul (30+?). To cellar. — 25 days ago

Less forward than the last bottle about 18 mos back. Still lovely. Cedary, minerally, mature St. Estephe. Red fruit very much an echo now. Excellent length and decades left if well stored. To seek out in magnum. — 12 days ago

Spectacular nose. Drinking wonderfully, maybe a touch more advanced than expected but blame the cellar not the winemaker. 06-10-20 RD18 degorgement. — 20 days ago

In a lovely place— fruit receding, balsamic enters left. — a month ago

From magnum. Quasi-amarone Beaujolais. Finally open for business, needs air though. Reduced cough syrup note isn’t my favorite but it works. I’ll keep the last magnum another 5-10. Enough weight for lamb. — a month ago
