A lovely wine that is drinking very lovely right now. I personally like 14.5% wines vs the big jammy versions for their balance so this fits my tastes perfectly. Very glad I bought a futures case back in the day. Enjoy sooner rather than later. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and sweet earthy tones, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character. Good now, has short-term aging potential. — 3 months ago

Minerals... Aged red fruit. Beautiful bouquet. This wine has come together nicely and it paired nicely with the beef tenderloin.

1990 vintage. Last tasted slightly over 3 years ago (8.7). Solid fill and cork. Not decanted. Tasted after two hours. A curious, fecal nose that never dissipated but nose didn’t invade the flavors that were earthy and spicy. This was immeasurably improved over the last encounter. Based on this visit, could go another 2-3 years at this level. 11.21.25. — a month ago

2022 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Excellent richness and viability of frontal palate fruit along with consistency of experience throughout. Tannins throughout but they don't dominate the conversation like the blowhard at the high school reunion. No dropped coverage or passes. Phenomenal (relatively) cheap chicken BDX at $25.10 a bottle resto cost. Picked up a case but, if I had more storage room, woulda picked up 5 cases. If I ran a retail store, woulda picked up 10 cases and pushed it hard for someone curious about but had never had BDX. 10.8.25. — 2 months ago

Raspberry, blackberry, currant, big thick mouthfeel, long finish, tannins for days, but put together…you need something big to eat with this one, and luckily I had just the thing-pigs foot stuffed with sweetbread and foie gras — 4 months ago

On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and smoky spice.

Probably my favorite St. Emillion. First had it at a restaurant in St. Emillion (2006 vintage?) and brought some back home. Had several 2009 vintage bottles since. Love this wine. — 4 months ago
