I loved this more in SB. Did I have rose-colored glasses, or was it because I left this out in a 90 degree car for a day. We’ll never know!
This did take a turn for the better after 30 mins. Rich, medium bodied, yum yum. — 21 hours ago

I found this wine balanced. I had it with surf and turf, and it was a good pairing — 13 days ago

Jura FTW again! Man, this producer is fast becoming one of my favorites. Complexity here is off the charts: granite, cherry, cranberry, mushroom, dried herbs, eucalyptus, and more. Light and smooth, low tannins, it still packs a big flavor punch. Cherry cola, orange peel, lots of pepper. Heck yeah. — a year ago

2018 vintage. First visit with this producer as it's rarely glimpsed in the Southern California market. Smoky, plummy nose. Medium body. Smooth, velveteen entry on the front palate that cruises the length of the performance until the fine-grained tannins at the conclusion. Super classy. Exactly zero speedbumps at this juncture. Refined enough to appeal to long-time BDX drinkers and inviting enough to welcome first-time BDX initiates. Showing beautifully now with very little to resolve. No personal history to draw on with this property but stylistically and regionally, feel this can easily go 10-12 years without effort/variation. Past that point, not prepared to say/speculate. 12.17.24. — 9 days ago

Opened earlier in the day and double-decanted several hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 1982 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core. On the nose, the wine is developing (still!) and slightly green compared to the ’82 Mouton that was poured alongside. Cassis, purple Chewy SweeTarts, green bell pepper, old wood, some earth and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry and has massive structure still. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly bitter. Drink now with a long decant but there are decades of life left. — 11 days ago

I enjoyed this more than the top cru. If you like oak, you’ll enjoy it even more. — a month ago

Paulee. A baby. Rich, ripe and powerful. In 10-15 years, this should be amazing! — 3 months ago
