2014 vintage. Go back with Staglin to the beginning. Have usually found it (both to their credit and detriment) slightly too acidic and lean without truly embracing one or the other. Distinctive style and it obviously works for them and theirs. Rauzan-Segla from Margaux does it better for the same pricing. — 20 days ago

2021 vintage. Bit o’ milk/dark chocolate in the flavors with the usual dark plum. Actually pretty approachable and satisfying for the $. 05.14.25. — 2 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Dry-Farmed, a bit of Cabernet Franc in mix, aged 20 months in mostly neutral French oak barrels. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry and cassis with espresso, cinnamon and earthy spice notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine tannins, long ending with fruit, cacao and tobacco spice! Nice! — 2 months ago

Pop and pour. A striking medium gold color. On the nose: wonderful aeromatics of apple, honeycomb, floral, lemon, almonds. Taste: lean, waxy, balanced mouthcoating wine with tart apple, saline, lemon rind, crushed stone, and a minerally orange peel lingering finish. YUM! Should have more time to go. — 2 months ago
