Bought a 10yr vertical at a charity auction last night. This was the oldest bottle.

Quick decant for a broken cork. Very dark red color. Plums, prunes, and a hint of cedar on the nose. Juicy wine with great depth. Dark cherries and cedar on the palate. Medium plus finish. Well made. Great buy for an even better cause! — 3 days ago

Light gold color. Melons, minerals, and stone on the nose. Complex on the palate but not my style. Usually love this wine, but maybe this bottle is different. Medium plus depth and finish. — 17 days ago

1hr+ decant. Dark red color with slightly brown rims. Absolutely insane nose containing cedar, herbs, and tobacco. I would have guess first growth Bordeaux by the nose. Deep, juicy, high quality wine on the palate. Great depth and very long finish. This rocks!! — 25 days ago

Happy Easter!

PnP. Earthy, rustic, strawberries, and plums on the nose and palate. Best bottle I’ve had of this since Paris over a decade ago! Paired lovely with ham, sweet potatoes, and brussel sprouts. — 10 days ago

PnP. Seemed to be in a weird state. Not bad, just lacked umph and flavors were more stewed than refined. — 12 days ago

Lovely gold color. Lemongrass and minerality dominate the nose with subtle flowers. There’s a sweetness on the palate I can’t place, almost like bubblegum. Deep wine with long finish. Always good! — 24 days ago

PnP. Dark red/purple color. Meaty, earthy nose! Wine tastes like mix between Napa Cab and Syrah/Rhone. I thought this was fairly bold and juicy, but Brooke disagreed. — 18 days ago

PnP. Not bad, but not my style. Bell pepper, earth, and raspberries on the nose. Same on the palate with some earth/dirt. Wine is a little stringy and has some tartness. Good flavor. — 25 days ago
