1999 vintage. Some frequent guests brought this in and were worried about it having held up. In my experience, this decidedly, old-school producer needs more time than the average bear to come around and show well. Nice fill and great cork. Decanted and tasted after 20 minutes. Throwing a bit of sludgy/powdery sed but very manageable. Slight amount of funk on the nose that blew off within minutes. Wine was a tad flat at the onset but gained strength in the decanter/glass with more oxygen. The fruit, thankyouforasking, was just dandy. Tannins, while still evident, were functioning more like an omniscient narrator. Ridiculous, deep, like just bottled color to this wine. So ridiculous, had to check several times with different lighting/backgrounds to make sure it wasn't my imagination. Beautiful, older premier cru red Burg experience. 9.14.25. — 3 months ago

Gorgeous. Bright lemon and limestone with a sizzly detailed acidity. Really pure and dynamic and long. Lovely balance and intensity — 7 months ago

Drinking the 2022 in 2025. Thin legs. Very light color. Nose has hints of citrus and matchsticks. Light and smooth with very few tannins and little aftertaste. Notes of citrus and oaks. — 8 months ago

Violets, blackberry, plum, iodine, earth, med + body, med + acidity. Tannins are fine, but still fairly assertive. A bit gamey, a bit rustic, paired very well with squab — 3 months ago

I love this wine. Ripe apricots really soft edges. The age did not hurt this bottle. Golden yellow in color. Very elegant — 8 months ago

We had the 2012 Vintage on 2/14-15/25. An excellent Syray with tastes of blackberry, plum, mocha, leather and spice. As time went on the bouquet developed eucalyptus. Full bodied, New World. Fruit forward. I’m glad I gave it 13 years in the bottle. — 10 months ago

I don’t drink much Bordeaux, not sure why. Maybe the choices are a bit overwhelming for me 🤷‍♀️ this one is medium bodied, has smooth tannins, not much fruit. — 4 years ago

I've had worse! But 2017 edges this one out slightly. This 2018 is less complex, but shows pleasant flavors of green apple, melon, grass... a stiffer finish than previous vintages.

Out to dinner at a steakhouse and went with this for the table. Loving it 😍 still a bit fruity but flavorful. I know it’s still opening up but I’m liking the transition 🤩 — 9 months ago

Consistently great value grower pink bubbles. Very crisp and mineral, a bit austere at this point, a lot of the sumptuous fruit has faded to leave chalk, some cranberry, and red grapefruit peel and pith.

Disgorged 2019, base 2015 wine. — 3 years ago
