Enjoying with a spicy creole dish. Tootsie roll of wine. — 9 months ago
2019 vintage. This estate is on a roll, and this 2019 is absolutely stunning. Deep dark red. Impressive nose with ripe black cherries, blackberries, cassis, flowers, cedar wood, and lead pencil. Very elegant but powerful at the same time, with layers of black fruit, a velvety tannic structure, fresh acidity, and some salinity in the very long finish. Abv. 14%. Excellent. — 5 months ago
2012 poured in February, 2022. It held up quite well for a 10 year old wine. Deep color, smooth tannins and good fruit on the palette. I think this wine will age well over the next 5-10 years. Well done. — 3 years ago
Delightful. Not too light, fruity or earthy. Buy again. — 2 years ago
Birth year vintages are a roll of the dice but luckily I landed on a pretty solid classic - 1978. So for my birthday this year, we opened an LLC and wow was this perfect. The sommelier was surgical in removing the cork which split in half but he managed to extract it. The nose on this wine was a 10 - loads of cassis, licorice, dusty library and leather. Palate was extracted cassis, leather and great acidity and liveliness, just like my 44 year old self. It’s just pure magic when bottles this old perform - happy Friday everyone. — 3 years ago
