Lovely texture and balance. SB 54 SEM 33 SG 13 — 2 months ago
Really solid, moderately priced pinot. Delightfully light, reminds me of a carneros pinot, nice with a little chill and any summer food you can think of. — 8 months ago
Green apple, pineapple, minerality and a lovely waxiness. It's clean with a sweet acidity and notes of stone fruit. Really delicate and something I'd happily drink again and again! — 4 years ago
The 3rd wine at the First Growth Bordeaux lunch at the Downs Club last Saturday. My contribution to the lunch. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Opulent and Powerful. The experts say this is a 50 year wine and tasting it now at 39 years currently it will definitely not have an issue reaching 50 years. Mint, spice and black fruits. The masses of dry tannins 20 years ago are starting to resolve. Jancis wondered in 2004 if they would ever soften. I have one left which I hope to drink on its 50th birthday in 2036 if I am still around. This was the oldest wine in the lineup and also the most robust. — a month ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a red sauce pasta night at home. High shoulder fill, but the cork completely disintegrated during removal. Juice is still drinking exceptionally well; shockingly fresh for being 40. Tons of black fruit and strong spices, with its age showing via expected tobacco and leather notes. Very structured via strong tannins and acidity; long and smooth / velvety finish...meaning this still has room to run. Cheers! — 3 months ago

Really nice and I didn’t know it was effectively a vineyard selection not a barrel selection — 11 hours ago
