Beautifully deep claret with tight tannins that required a good 1-2 hours of decanting to unlock the wine’s texture. The blend is darker fruit with an outwardly apparent Cabernet Franc element that brings violets on the nose and blackberry and brambles on the palette. At or near its peak with a lot of longevity remaining. — 3 months ago
Standard strong, bright, right hook from this Bordeaux. Very solid. — 6 months ago
Decanted for 3 hours before returning to the bottle prior to dinner. The 2008 pours a deep garnet color a with near opaque; medium+ with moderate staining and some signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dark plums, purple flowers, some green bell pepper, tobacco, graphite, leather, mint, and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins that are mostly integrated and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A classy, perfectly matured Pomerol that was a lovely pairing with a Tomahawk ribeye. Drink now through 2033. Thanks Andy! — 2 months ago

Cool wine. Long ageing (7 years). Complex but kind of flat on the mouthfeel. Not a wine for everyone. — 5 months ago
What a treat. A gorgeous, crystalline blonde in the glass with persistent perlage. This nose is incredible with aromas of white flowers and lemon zest initially. Apricots and peaches. Herbs and beautiful streaks of honey. The citrus notes are intoxicating and I could just sit and smell this all day long. There’s a bit of warm brioche just for good measure.
A pure and elegant expression of Chardonnay. Creamy and well balanced, this is just such a delightful champagne. Never heavy, this floats in the air. Incredibly fresh and alive. Very accessible at this point despite being so young. The palate is smooth, yet energetic with more citrus and yellow apples. More honey and minerality. The finish is long and oh so delicate. A shining star. — 5 months ago
