2017 vintage. Medium-heavy body alongside dark color and a dense nose. Enough fruit to please but not enough to overwhelm the balance. A very pleasant exeunt comprised of cassis, plum and milk chocolate. Nice for the price and drinking well now. 3.29.23. — 2 days ago
1991 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Still with plenty of medium body/weight. Good amount of earth interspersed with dark fruits and excellent concentration on the finish. Grippy in all the right places and tasting like it’s on the tail end of the optimal zone. Maybe another 3-4 years in current state. 3.24.23. — 7 days ago
2016 vintage. Dark, foreboding and dense. Lose this for at least two decades. And even then, lose it for another few years. Wouldn’t even tap it till 2045 unless you’re prepared to decant during breakfast time and hit it at dinner time. 3.24.23. — 7 days ago

2017 vintage. Great earthy nose paired with dark fruits. Medium bodied. That earthy nose translates to ample tannins, the aforementioned dark fruits and chock full of street fighter dirty in the flavor profile. From the “Brune” side of the tracks vs the “Blonde.” Filled with rage, poor attitude and likely in detention every day after class for the foreseeable future. Needs a decade to grow up and stop the bullying. De-stemmed and, surprisingly, 10% Viognier. 3.29.23. — 2 days ago
