2021 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Trademark voluptuousness/ blanket swaddling there in the early/mid going. Fell off on the finish with a bit of lingering tartness. Loved the 2016 and 2017. This is that but it ain't (all) that if you know what I mean. 3.25.26. — 18 days ago

One of my 3-4 BdM favorite producers. Haven’t tried any 20:ies vintages yet.

Amazing depth. Black currants and syrupy. Hypnotic bouquet. — a month ago

The nose shows classic BdM aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, steeped black tea, tobacco, and a whisper of balsamic. Yet on the palate its tart acidity overwhelmed, and the nimble structure is more inline with CC than a BdM.

Not bad, but I certainly expected much more.

I would have had the same expectation for the producer and year.

@Tom Casagrande exactly! Hope this is just a bottle variation. Have 1 bottle left.

v05. Exceptional. Decant. Soft, fruit soaked toasted oak nose. Bold, deep, rich, blackberry fruit with prune and tar hints. Velvety soft, yet firm, slightly astringent long, lean chocolate finish. — a day ago

2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25. — a month ago

This sample was given to me. Tannins are resolved to the point of almost nonexistent. A fair amount of acid with what little fruit was dark and baked. Cherries leather and tobacco leaf. Darn yummy but I wish I had some food with it. — 18 days ago
