Still so young that it’s almost a shame to drink now...almost. Incredible combination of power and feather-lightness — 4 days ago

How to get over your Vougeot and ‘03 phobias in one bottle. Masterful—exotic red fruit, spice and wood embers, harnesses the ripeness of the vintage without being overwhelmed by it. Case in point—at the end of the day it’s always about who made the wine. — 4 days ago

Clinging to life but still enjoyable — 8 days ago

Everything you want out of St Estephe (even though the chateau is famously close to Pauillac from a terroir perspective...) Black currant, plums, leather, green tobacco, iodine, olive tapenade, but velvety soft so the austerity doesn’t extend to the tannic structure. — 4 days ago

Really impressive at the price...outperformed Joly Coulee de Serrant — 8 days ago

9.1

Supple and elegant, densely packed dark fruit, mulling spice and mineral overtones, so closed at first but the last few sips were just starting to get interesting. Needs 5-10 years or a 3 hour decant — 4 days ago

Fantastic—a fresh and lively take on Zinfandel — 5 days ago

9.2

First time tasting the ‘05 Tondonia...excellent, more long term aging potential than the ‘04. Still substantial American oak and sweet fruit to integrate. — 5 days ago

8.5

Maddeningly inconsistent...this was good but had some weird plasticky volatile stuff going on and also a bit oxidized — 8 days ago
