Deep gold color. Intense nose of tropical and stone fruit, pastry, all backed by lemon notes. Full body, oily with a fair amount of oak. Long finish. Great wine, but even better if you like the style. — 7 days ago

Garnet color with slight browning at the rim. Leather, jerky, black current, dry leaves and spice. Drying on the palate, with balsamic undertones that suggests it might be past its prime days. Long finish. Drink up. — a month ago

Recycling my last year’s tasting note as they are identical. Beautiful ruby color, slight garnet rim. Reticent nose at first, which uncoiled to reveal dark fruit, soil, dried herbs and lead pencil. Still tannic backbone on the palate, which required some time to unfold. Extremely long finish. Beautiful wine in perfect condition. — a month ago

1978. Garnet color. Cork in good shape. Leather, roasted meat, animal nose. Soft and very balanced on the palate. Long finish. The other one I had last year was better. Still fantastic though. — a month ago

Garnet color. Sour cherries, licorice, sous-bois and spice from the oak on the nose. The oak softened significantly over the years but it is still present with the red and dark fruits on the palate. Nice acidity and medium+ to long finish. — 15 days ago

Light garnet color. Sour cherries, sous bois and spice on the mesmerizing nose. Glides on the palate, with the spice and candy lasting forever in the mouth. Delicious. — a month ago

Golden amber. Honey, dried apricots and nutty aromas. Full and opulent body, and lasts in the mouth for a while. Wishing for a tad more acidity. — a month ago

Translucent garnet color. Red fruit, game , sous bois and sweet spice. Sublime on the palate, incredible balance that lasts all the way through the finish. Hard to really describe beside being transcendent. Running out of qualifiers really. Such an experience. — a month ago

Cork took me a while, that’s why I’m not a Sommelier. Gorgeous honey color, almost amber. Caramel, honey, roasted nuts and dried tropical fruit on the nose. Full body, with high acid and alcohol on the minutes long finish. This is great. — a month ago

Beautiful ruby color with a garnet rim. Red and back fruit, soil, lead pencil, clay and dry herbs on the nose. Same on the palate with hints of white pepper that lasts on the lingering finish. Almost rated it on the nose only. Such a treat, all class and elegance. — a month ago
