This was fairly tight & needed some air to show mostly black fruits, full bodied with notes of earth, cedar, sweet spices, graphite, mocha & tobacco — 4 days ago

just got back from Bordeaux and the Périgord. I brought some treats from the area to share with friends and just grabbed this wine out of my cellar. This wine was drinking great, very full bodied with dark cherry, plum, and cassis. Also, a bit tobacco, cedar, licorice and leather all around. Everyone commented how great this was drinking. Got to find some more. — 9 days ago

2017 vintage. Last tasted 8.8.24 (9.4), 3.15.22 (9.4) and 8.27.21 (9.4). IIRC…95% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc. Medium body. Lost a little weight and oak influence. Consequently, many of the overt, feminine influences so noticeable the last few years, have retreated a tad. More prominent dark chocolate and earthy tones currently. The new red BDX Coravin pour at $50 a glass. 5.7.26. — a month ago

Decanted and aerated multiple times for 3 hours. Lush fruit, licorice and new leather. Strong finish, this 26 year old wine has many years left. — a month ago

The nose opens with waves of ripe black cherry, cassis, plum liqueur, and dark chocolate Beneath the opulence lies impressive complexity with hints of espresso, violets, and peppery spice emerge gradually with air. The palate is dense and supple, showing warmth and generosity. Plenty of nuance beneath the lavish fruit.

Possibly the best value for a St-Emilion GCC. Will need to seek out more. — 18 days ago

The manager At Coopers Landing, Doug, brought this wine in and was excited about it, so we tried it! Went well with our Mediterranean salad and redfish dinner on the patio! $50 at restaurant. — 4 days ago

I have always enjoyed this wine & decided to open one of my last few btls out of an owc. This had a perfumed nose of red & black fruits, mocha, graphite, menthol & tobacco notes. One of the wines of the vintage. — a month ago
