Unbelievably great showing of a 65 yo Napa wine! Distinct from old Bordeaux - nice toasted oak notes persist fully integrated with dark fruit. A tue delight to have tasted! — 10 months ago

I compared this 2016 BdB to the 2017 Haliotide Late Disgorged BdB to get a feel for styles. Followed over two days with no change.

One of the better Ultramarine wines I’ve had, and definitely pre-funk. I feel like the last few vintages have shown a lot of bottle variation and sometimes a green/herbal profile, mostly in the BdN and BdB (never in the rosé, that’s my favorite wine in the portfolio).

The older vintages always had a distinct cream-soda aromatic to them that I loved, and this has it in spades alongside truffle Honeycomb and spiced apple. Oxidative flair but not an overly oxidative sparkler. Great depth and richness here…almonds, lemon cream, caramel-green apple. Wears the low dosage so well. Broad on the palate (in a good way). I’d be fine drinking this without food. Tasty. — 3 months ago

This 2029 is pure and focused. Cherry and red apple skins with a graphite core. Bright acidity with a cooling dark stone finish. Beautiful. — 9 months ago
