Dec 10th, 2022The ‘07 is fantastic as of 1Q18. It’s mellow, yet full bodied w/ tannins on the back end. For the price I have not had a better bottle in recent memory

Feb 7th, 2018Dark color, closed nose. Just a hint of caramel and charred old barrel revealing plums with air. Big and dark with good black cherry fruit, a bit of ETOH, graphite and a hit of acid on the finish. Needs time.

Mar 16th, 2015Fairly intense (for a Bordeaux) black cherry palate, heavy body, a bit powdery, and hot and unbalanced on the back palate. Still like it tho - tasty.
