A delightful treat, a recommendation of Rory Pugh, sommelier at the Grand Del Mar. Perfect pairing for our beef entrées. All the classic elements in balance. Bright juiciness upon opening gave way to a restrained and graceful structure. Lean and silky. Will certainly continue to develop for several, if not many, more years.

I forget if we were at Amaya or Addison. Regardless, this was a great suggestion by Mr. Pugh and an eye-opener. Went great with our entrees, which I'm sure were meat-centric. Had it again in Boston at Craigie on Main many months later. This is a terrific Bordeaux.
