Had to try the ‘18. Two hour decant. The nose is just so floral. This wine has it all - plush tannins, silky texture, black and blue fruit with a cassis liqueur long finish. Amazing! Can’t wait to watch these age. — 12 days ago
Gonna let it breathe a bit, but initially it’s got a big red fruited nose. Plum and red fruit, tannins softened up for a nice mouthfeel but it’s quite acidic. So the finish is more acidic. We’ll see if it changes with some air time. — 22 days ago
Lovely nose. Dark fruit, ripe yet somewhat muted. Still a bit tight. Definite minerality, but also a clay earthiness. Powdered tannins. Nice mouthfeel. Well structured. Nice finish. First bottle of my 06s. Many many years left. — 3 days ago
Medium ruby. Tannins softened with just a bite on the edge, grippy yet soft. Black and red fruit, nicely balanced. Earthy. Medium to full bodied. Medium finish. Nice mouthfeel. — 16 days ago
2019 vintage. Ruby red. Nose a little shy. Red fruit, with some black coming in, minerality is strong, tannins still have a bite, but chalky and smooth, giving a nice mouthfeel. Needs a good decant now but I think this will have a good future in a couple years. — a month ago
Same comments. Nearing end of its drinking window. But the fruit is still black and juicy, black licorice, leather, tobacco. Nice mouthfeel and medium finish. — 7 days ago
Bright ruby. Fresh mouthfeel, ripe fruit up front - mostly red fruit, plum. Medium bodied. Tannins fully integrated and almost silky. Medium plus finish. — 7 days ago
Same comments. Brooding wine tonight. Maybe with some air will start to sing. Nevertheless, nice ripe fruit, red and black. Earthy. Grippy tannins. Medium minis finish. — 18 days ago
Nose was not showing much. Primarily plum, some cassis, earthy, mushroom, log fire, lots going on. Nice mouthfeel, medium finish. — a month ago

Lovely nose. Dark purple. Ripe plum, black cherry, dark fruit. Soft tannins, but needs air time. And prob needs several more years in bottle. Nice supple finish. — 6 hours ago
