Slightly-less savory than expected for a Clary. Sprawling brambly fruit rushing into a tight finish. — a month ago

Roses, ripe red fruit, blackberries, chocolate, wet earth, leather. Full bodied, mouth coating texture really stands out especially first day. Very smooth tannins, sage-savory rich finish. — 4 months ago

I just found this hiding in our cellar, given the age on the wine, I thought that this would need to be dispatched with urgency. I could not have been further from how it actually presented.
The nose is lively and almost raucous. Loads of cherry jam and cinnamon. The palate is dense and compact, showing absolutely no signs of aging. Cherries, cedar and sweet jam are joined by powerful tannins. I’m floored as to how well this has presented. Kudos to the winery. — 2 months ago

Flight #1 of our 1997 Retrospective. Presented single-blind; no formal notes. On the nose, this shared similar characteristics to wine #3. The most striking of which was a powerful note of finely ground cumin on the nose. Fruit is mostly desiccated at this point; the structure keeping everything together, but just. I called this to be “Rubicon”. While clearly in the sunset of its life, this showed slightly less energy than the Dalla Valle but no less charm. Drink now.

New Years bottle. No notes; exuberant red fruits, in balance. Still, I preferred a Bourgogne red at the table, as this not suited to my palate, feels somehow monolithic & uni dimensional — 4 months ago

2016 vintage. Initial taste surprised with an aged taste, and a bit of a bitter finish. Improved with air time. Primarily black cherry, with some hints of pepper, oak, leather, tobacco. Ended up being decent but initially was questionable. — a month ago

Checking in on this. More tobacco, earth, and, espresso than I recall. I recall purity of red and black fruit. Rating a little lower, but nothing out of place. Evolution going well. Think in a transition period. Check back in a year. ttyt — 6 months ago
