Nice acid backbone. Still has bright fruit but it is at its peak. — 11 years ago
Decanted because last time we opened '07 it was a snoozer. This time the acidity was paired with red fruit, an enticing sourness and a strong finish. Tannins provided a hint of backbone, nothing to stop this from being a wine you couldn't drink on its own. — 12 years ago
Steven Mirassou's Bordeaux blend has some of the best qualities of 2011: lifted, aromatic, varietal character and a backbone of acidity and minerality that will age for 20+. — 11 years ago
Elegant with lots of power and length. Fantastic wine with a mineral backbone. — 12 years ago
Dried red fruits, crushed red plums, dusty tannins, on the leaner side with solid acid backbone. Great food wine — 13 years ago

This wine was built for aging but unfortunately was closed this evening. Very tight and closed. Nice body, tannic backbone intake, but not letting go of the fruit that is present. Would wait a few years before heckling in. — 11 years ago
