2019 vintage. For Malescot, this came across as tight. This producer is usually giving and voluptuous upon release and the first few years. Solid, yet not great. Slap a mandatory "do not approach" restraining order on this for a 5-spot. 7.21.23. — 10 months ago

Just a really solid St.-Julien, unmistakable for anything else, and that's a very good thing. — 6 years ago

So dark & brooding, savoury, earthy. Going through a less fruity phase right now. Dark earth, bit of roast, rosemary, sage, a faint whiff of black fruit. Yet there’s purity here. And incredible energy.
On the palate this is youthfully burly, with a powerful tannin frame. Yet the tannins are juicy, fine, polished. And the acidity within - zingy & fresh. There’s character & depth here. And tension. Great balance & length.
This is way too young but will evolve beautifully - I’m sure of that.
An incredible savoury Sangiovese that just begs a solid piece of meat!
I so much prefer this style to the plush, shiny modern Brunellos. — 2 years ago

Tad of a green note (asparagus?) up front, mature, resolved tannins, medium-bodied, medium-long finish, solid, if clearly unspectacular. — 3 years ago

Dark garnet red with a ruby hue. Aged characteristics on the nose with some tobacco leaves, anise, damp leaves and dark berries. Medium tannins (6/10) and full bodied. Quite earthy on the palate with some dried cherries, cigar box and some light leather. Long finish with solid acidity. Drink till 2023. — 5 years ago

Solid consistent through vintage: this is a textbook example of Sonoma County Zin. Great balance and weight & easy to drink, my only complaint is that it lacks concentration and is too fruit focused but I imagine that is by design to appeal to the widest audience. Seghesio has outstanding single vineyard offerings for those seeking more — 6 years ago

Not quite as mature as the 2012. The 14 was solid and nice but the aromatics were lacking. Needed more time. — 2 years ago

Good every day Rioja. A bit sweet and not overly tannic for a Rioja. Bold but not very elegant. Fine-grained tannins and integrated acidity. Solid vintage. Pick up a few more for sure. — 4 years ago
