Stunner of a right bank Bordeaux. Sensational fruit, menthol lights. Lush and soft. Wish we could have gone into the future and decanted it 6 hours earlier. Got better and better and better as we lingered over dinner and tried not to slam it. — 4 days ago

9.5

Blend of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral spice and smoky cedar notes. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and smoky spice. Fine tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar, smoke and earthy mineral character. Very nice, will age well but wait a few more years to really enjoy! — 2 days ago

Petrus 1975... It was a very tannic year apparently. This was still as fresh like a 30 year younger wine! — 18 days ago

Wow….my impression of this wine front to back compounded me…bright but sharp fruit backbone to an older Pomerol terroir and ruddier …so fun! — a month ago

Very polished fruit. Great balance. Sophisticated and a little understated. Silky and in place. Very good, but lean in… this wine doesn’t shout — 16 days ago

Solid but lacked the wow factor we were expecting for a 2005 vintage. Or, maybe we’ve just become really picky with all the nice wine we’ve been drinking?! 🤔
Nice smooth texture and a strong dark chocolate taste. Really good wine but didn’t blow us away. — 18 days ago

Impressive depth/complexity and extremely chuggable, as well!
Grandiose. — 3 days ago
