Needed more time to open than I gave it initially. Bold oak and blackberry over leather. — a month ago
Good but not as great as the previous one. — 2 months ago
Delicious. This had a lot of fruit while still maintaining depth and a bit of complexity.
Tannins were present but not too strong.
Overall very smooth — 2 months ago
2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Medium body. Leaning heavily towards a feminine-styled Cabernet and has dropped nearly all of the braggadocio of youth. As mentioned with another reviewer @Jay Kline not even close to being as exciting as the producer’s Les Pavots bottling and fairly one-dimensional. More than a bit disappointing given the initial acclaim. 05.29.25. — a month ago
5/2025. Bold flavor and finish. Very nice to drink. — 2 months ago

Pop and pour. A splendid deep dark magenta color. On the nose: cherry, smokey bell pepper, cedar, cinnamon, vanilla oak, floral. Taste: chalky, smooth, brambly black cherry, cedar, spice, currants, earth....finishes long and precise. YUM! — 2 days ago
