2016 vintage. From Coravin. Medium body. Phenomenal smoky, mineral nose. Almost all traces of the baby fat gone. Transitioning from the teen years into young adulthood but still visiting the parents to do laundry on occasion. Tannins picking up and slowly becoming more pronounced. Need to taste this again in a year or two. Very promising. 5.9.24. — 2 years ago

2016 vintage. Last tasted in May 2022. At that time, the wine had shed much of the baby fat and gone leaner bodied. Ummm…this bottle added the weight/body back on along with the overt fruit missing for the last year back into the hopper. The most Jekyll/Hyde BDX I’ve ever had the pleasure to taste multiple x’s. Have zero idea what to expect on the next visit but thinking it won’t be boring. 2.20.23 — 3 years ago

Superb. Needed something to stand up to a bone in rib eye as well as an unruly 1 year old. Deep garnet color. Lot of berries on the nose with hints of smoke and bacon fat. Beautiful long tannic finish. — 5 years ago

Beyond. Just in an amazing place right now. Bacon fat, black olive, sage, oregano, fresh tobacco and black fruit. Balanced and linear, not really palate coating. Very clean and energetic. Lots of length. — 7 years ago

Very smooth. Not very rich, I don't get a very "buttery" sensation like other chardies. But would be great in the summertime. — 8 years ago

Sophisticated nose of bacon fat, pipe smoke, ground espresso, hazelnut, blueberry, and bramble berry pie. Leather, tar, and tobacco too. Layered and perfectly ripe.Palate hits with pronounced blue and black fruits accented by pepper and clove. Vanilla bean and organic earth flavors too. Tannins are moderate and playfully bounce off a food minded acidity. This is drinking wonderfully now, so much that it’s hard to justify aging. Great finish depth and length. Drink or hold. This far over delivered on complexity for the price point! — 5 years ago

Very berry fruity. If you like berry fruity, then you will love it. However, $30 bottle. Worth it — 7 years ago

The 2016 is out - and it doesn’t disappoint!!!Medium-bodied but mouth filling showing freshly picked cherries, leather and bacon fat. A memorable finish. One of my favorite wines, one of the most reliable. Huge QPR and one you should always have on hand. A little pricey for an everyday house wine, but it’s always worth it. On the downside it went up $1 and is now $21...... — 7 years ago
