Just right!! 2006 — 6 days ago
Harmonious nose of blackberry, blackcurrant, smoked wood, leather, hints of mocha.
Warm and greasy on the palate, eucalyptus, maybe menthol. Great length with dry finish. — a month ago
Pineapple, soft minerality with a honey sweetness. Slightly off dry, (to my taste) and provides perfect structural balance throughout — 2 months ago
Classic La Mission nose that is in a perfect spot showing red & black fruits, cedar, leather, earth, graphite, spice box along with sweet tobacco — 3 months ago
Maritana 5-24-26 — 4 months ago
A little blocky and rough initially. Needed an hour or two to come together. Then the nose started showing elegant black cherry and cassis fruit, smoky gravel tones, and a little dry underbrush. It softened in the mouth too. The tannins are quite present and clingy, but receding under the waves of fruit and loads of rich clay-like earthiness. Decent acids, especially for an ‘18. This is nice now with a 90+ minute decant, and likely will improve even more over the next 5 years or so. — a month ago

Classic. Full-bodied. Cedar, plum, blackberries, tobacco, dark chocolate. Decanted for about six hours before the tannins settled down. — 5 months ago

Creamy, delicate, floral aroma with a hint of honey. Paired nicely with a white fish dish at a Commanderie de Bordeaux dinner at Hope Club. — 8 days ago
