1999. One of serge last wines. Things showing as well as any wine I’ve had. Super expressive on nose. Super long finish. Great balance. Rich plummy flavors. Fantastic. — 17 days ago
Crisp and fresh but simple. — a month ago
2016 out of magnum. Cigar box. Ripe tannins. Beautiful. — 9 days ago
2005. Perhaps a bit past its prime. But still excellent. Morphed to a chalky sense on the palate. Still loved it. — 25 days ago
Smoking. This is amazing. The earth of a languedoc cab. It has dolcetto, sure only 2% but who does that? It’s so good. Long finish. Complex. 2021. — a month ago
Pretty lemony and chalky. Long finish. V good. Not super excellent but old. 2012 — 9 days ago
Really good. A bit tight. Prob needs decanting. I’m too lazy. Dark fruit with that meatiness one hopes for. 2022. — 13 days ago
2016. Stunning. Expressive and detailed. Rich nose with cinsault showing. Pretty red fruit. Long finish. Excellent. — a month ago
2021. High acidity which dominates. I bet it would show well decanted but as is it’s not interesting enough. Pretty one dimensional. — a month ago
