This was a nice pour out of 9L served up by their Winemaker, Trevor Durling. He and his team are a great group of people.

Really excellent evolution. Classic Private Reserve George Latour style. Fine, dark tarry tannins, dark cassis, wet clay, sandalwood, used tobacco, light herbaceous notes, understated lead pencil, some baking spices, dark spice, withering dark & red flowers, excellent round acidity, balance for days, soft structure & tension and an elegant, round, plush, velvety finish that close to two-minutes. — 17 days ago

Surprisingly beautiful. Great bottles. Tannins smooth — enough for structure but not in the way. Dark fruit. Great. — 24 days ago

1970 vintage. Good not great fill. Cork an absolute mess. Decanted and tasted after an hour. Wow. Light body but still going strong. Big spice and orange peel components. Excellent length of finish and obvious class in the glass. 3.5.24. — 2 months ago

A slightly off hint of butterscotch on the nose. Dense dark fruit with stone and poised. A shame about the nose as the fruit is great — 2 months ago

Beautiful Sancerre with clean crisp acidity and expected mineral notes. Absolutely worth the purchase. Recommend for anyone looking to explore the range of the Loire Valley. — 3 months ago

Never a disappointment. And Mike, I’m thinking of you. Digging into a nice filet while I’m at it. — 8 days ago

All oak and diacetyl at first. Does so much better with some warmth and time in the glass. Salty canned pineapple, vanilla custard, apricot, a touch of green olive, chalky limestone quality—far from Chablis but with an oyster shell quality and wild acid. Sounds like a terrible combination and yet somehow it works. — 17 days ago
