Solid effort: BDX blend from ARG, nice fruit profile, smooth integrated tannins, bit one dimensional but pleasant enough — 2 days ago

Shockingly fresh, focused and loads of structure. Maybe Tempranillo isn’t so bad. 😊 — 15 days ago

A bit past its prime but otherwise still smooth, earthy, and delicious. — a month ago

Always a banger but lost to a 2016 reserva in a blind taste. Probably because this vintage scored 90, while that one was a 94. Doesn’t make this any less of a super star though. Great wine, great house. — a month ago

An extremely well-cellared bottle with pristine cork. Deep, complex, full-bodied and tasting like it still has many good years. Notes of black cherry, currant, leather and spice. Comparable to the best left bank Bordeaux. — 4 days ago

2020 vintage. A fave CA chard and producer. Medium-medium heavy body. Tasting slightly more tropical and advanced with less acidity than usual. Still absolutely delicious tho. Would like to retaste and reevaluate in 5-6 months tho. Based on 30 vintages of tasting this particular wine, betting it reconciles any tawdry, fleeting concerns that occupy my compromised palate and right quick. 01.22.25. — a month ago
