This wine is helping me stain a table for my kiddo who's heading off to school 😢
But, it is an excellent wine! Good Lord it's very well made. Perfect today and will be perfect in 5 years. Ripe fruit, bit of leather, smooth tannins. A man's gotta believe in something, and I believe I'll buy more of this.

Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2010 pours a hazy garnet/purple color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of tart, ripe and desiccated fruits: blackberries, black licorice, horse blanket, some animale, mushrooms, forest floor, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. It has been eight years since I last enjoyed this vintage of the VV and it continues to age with a lot of grace. Drink now through 2030+. — 2 months ago

Meaningfully better than this was nearly 2 years ago when I had it last. Gave it 4 hours open in the bottle before a 1.5 hour decant. Paired with burgers on the grill. Pretty classic left bank, more refined and slightly “lighter” than many. Great acid on the finish, and a nice density overall. Def one to drink up but can’t complain. — 16 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2012 pours a hazy garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe mixed fruits: raspberry, pomegranate, strawberry, Bing cherry, licorice, horse blanket, forest floor and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This finish is long. A wild wine; literally and figuratively. Teeters on the edge of being too careless but it doesn’t cross over into the realm of gerbil cage. Drink now. — 3 months ago
