A noble musk indeed. A petrol white flower. So expressive, so explosive. Acids strike a high note just as a suppleness envelopes your palate. — 4 months ago

Much less interesting then the 2018. Which I reviewed just recently. This wine is elegant with mostly red fruit, cherry (but not in your face) hint of black currant, Plenty of acidity. Touch bark. Subdued crushed marble. May be i am tasting this too young. But over all this just does not strike me as a wine which challenges my palate. Compared to the 2021 E&M‘s from Baden. This is very blah. — 2 years ago

Questo chateau e’ il nostro favarito. Anche questa botteglia. Faccio biodinami, buono rosso da nero d’avola. Sarebbe il zone strike per noi, siamo sotisfatto con la qualita. — 4 years ago

2020 vintage. Splendid nose and excellent color. PNP. Medium heavy body. Massive attack of blackberry and plum at the tip of the blue lines spear. A mega-fave St. Emmie producer in the $35-$40 strike price. Fleshy now and wish I had enough storage/discipline/ca$hi$h to park a couple of cases straight into darkness for a decade plus to trace performance/unfolding/defensive posture. Alas, I am undone. 12.10.24. — 7 months ago

Nose of mushroom and compost, leather, tar, vanilla and blackberry pie. Spicy on the tongue, with almost bitter cherry and blueberry skin. Dark chocolate and mocha strike on the mid palate with minerality to finish. Plush yet elegant. Drank side by side with ‘09 - prefer the ‘10. Alcohol stays in balance on this vintage, subtle oak notes show to finish. Drink now with a splash decant. — 5 years ago

Next to the Tortola, this did not have anything to say. And, I really tried to strike up a conversation. — 5 months ago

This wine has a burnished look, deep brown. The nose is a treat all on its own. There are aromas of brown sugar, coffee and orange zest which combine for an amazing olfactory experience. The palate is just as joyful, with caramel, raisin and mocha notes. The acidity is fresh and exhilarating. Although the wine is described on the label as “cream,” it does not strike me as creamy. The viscosity is nice, though. It will pair well with dessert, or serve as one by itself. — a year ago

Very good cab from magnum at winery. It’s smooth bodied and pretty easy to drink now after popping the cork. It did not strike me as something that will age for a long while. I guess I was hoping for more structure and evolution over lunch. — 4 years ago
