Structured and somewhat tannic still, still some primary fruit but I worry the tannins will outlast the fruit, impressive showing for the second wine of Laurel Glen, our good steaks are effectively cutting the tannins, very good Cal Cab!! — a month ago

Typically CNDP with spices (cinnamon, laurel), a little barnyard funk and glycerine. Still tight because of age but well balanced. Double decanted to shred off the rough edges. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2022 | Just delivered and put away in the cellar. Paired with a simple chicken roulade, baked potatoes and salad. One hour in decanter. My goodness, excellent performance. Sultry cherries and laurel in the cheerful scent. Beautiful integrated tannins, nothing to complain about the 14,5 abv. Velvety taste. Made my wife very happy; I buy Merlot wines for her. Happy wife, happy life 🥰 — 8 days ago

Vintage 2015 | brown rim, cedar, laurel, flint. It was three years ago I tasted this terra vitis Languedoc wine and I took all my bottles from the cellar upstairs. Good premonition, the wine is à point. Good taste, easy now without tannins, a bit sultry. Perhaps the wine was more interesting when young, because it had more tension. Lovely though. Paired with spaghetti tunafish. | second day +0,2 air makes it more rounded and completes the sultryness — 2 months ago

Shows a little of the bell pepper aromas that I often found in older Sonoma Cabs, but nicely balanced fruit that is still quite youthful, tannins have mostly receded, drinking quite well tonight, bravo Patrick for making this gem!! — 2 years ago

2021. Opened two nights ago without time to decant and enjoyed a glass which had really intense aromas and bright acidity and earthiness on the finish. This rating is for the glass we had tonight. Tart cherries and berries, floral and herbal, all integrated. Delicious wine. — 3 months ago

Still youthful, with red currant fruit accented by bell pepper and a hint of mint, showing more tannin than my last bottle. — 2 months ago
