Really well done left bank style wine. Elegant and medium bodied. Good depth of flavor and acidity.

Always a favorite! PnP. Dark red color with purple hues. Cedar and rustic cherries on the nose. Nice balance between Napa and Bordeaux on the palate. Smooth and refined. Medium finish.

Very nice! 1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Dark cherries and tobacco on the nose. Similar on the palate and paired nicely with smoked boneless short ribs. Silky with a medium finish. 93.5 but rounding up.

Really quite nice but I probably slightly preferred the 2011 we had a few months ago. Quite inky dark and refined. It’s all there - the fruit, the sweet tannins, the slight vanilla from the oak. Very nice with a beautiful ribeye on the grill.

Great! 1hr+ decant and could have used a lot more. Dark red color. Dark cherries with a hint of cedar on the nose. Ample tannins are well balanced with the fruit and paired nicely with flank steak. Hints of oak and vanilla throughout. Chewy, deep wine. Medium finish.
