Scarlet tawny color, mostly opaque. Sweet fruit nose. Notes of red and black fruit, dark earth, figs, molasses, tobacco leaves and some barnyard. Very pleasant in the mouth. Good structure. Great finish. This was in the zone.

Sep 26th, 2022Dark garnet color, looks young in the glass. Opaque. Massive nose led by strong tobacco notes, moist forest floor, black and red fruits, old leather saddle, lots of spice and some black truffles. Huge impact in the mouth. Lots of structure, matching the big fruit. Masculine and very old Bordeaux-like. Still young. I think this can get even better, but it was great tonight. 96+

Plush and delicious. Soft edged velvety fruit with supple oak and great length. Excellent.

Perfect drinking window right now, with structure to age... still gobs of fruit, softened tannins, all in perfect harmony

Not shitty. Silky. Not a bold offering. Opens up nicely after decanting.

Quintessentially smooth with strong fruit, thresholds of acid and tannin but no characteristic of restraint. This is a wine that seduces even if consumed alone. The age need not accumulate further, drink if you find one ASAP

Not as good as the many others I've had. Think it was the bottle not the wine
