Deep ruby rust, opaque, nicely balanced Rhône blend with licorice, cherries and dark red fruits. Very good! — 3 months ago

Lots of eucalyptus at opening. 15 mins in it begins to settle in. Leather, mushroom on the nose with the ever present eucalyptus. Really well structure fruit on the palette, a tinge of acidity and a bit sharp on the finish. More time in the glass brings a balance that’s amazing for a 39 year old wine. Thankfully no one here to share!

9.0

2007 vintage poured on December 31, 2022. Dark in the glass, tannins have smoothed out and still strong raspberry and cherry on the palette. Paired with Beef Wellington and a green peppercorn sauce. Admittedly the sauce overpowered the wine. — 2 years ago

Wonderfully balanced wine; deep ruby in color, dark fruit and cedar notes on the palette and perfectly integrated tannins (after 1-2 hours to open!). Moderate acidity with a long fruit-centered finish. This wine is in its prime! — 4 months ago

This bottle a bit tighter than my last one. Strong tannins and acidity on the open. Fruit is ripe, plum, blackberry, black cherry. Graphite, minerality, nice grippy mouthfeel. Good finish. — 9 months ago

Rich, full bodied, and very long on the palette after an hours decant. Dark fruit abounds; tannins we’re fine and we’ll integrated. Still quite young in presentation with decades of life remaining i. This vintage! — 2 years ago

Piercing nose. Light in body. Bright palette. This shows as fresh and bright, lighter flowers, tart red fruits and rose water. — 3 years ago
