2000 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of 1.5 hours. Expected amount of sed. Chunky, unresolved nose. Medium body. Still too youthful. Would try to give it another 7-10 years if possible. Initial tree branches/greenery dipping into morning fresh water morphed into classic graphite/lead pencil after 45 mins in the decanter. There was a slight metallic streak on the finish that appeared about 20 minutes in and still hadn't dissipated after 1.5 hours. More nimble than the og bad boys from this estate ('86, '88, '89, '90) and a bit less weighty. Mostly positives along with a few (mostly) minor quibblings. A ways to go, tho, before hitting the summit this estate established four decades ago. 9.24.23. — 6 days ago

Racy, dry, piercing acidity that stays in balance with some citrus, pleasant greenness and mineral backbone. Throw some shellfish at thjs and give me more! — a month ago

Absolutely beautiful nose that is supported by great mouth feel and rich, dark fruit, tar, etc. Still early in its drinking window. Surprisingly lovely. — 2 months ago
