Dark ruby with violet reflexes. The nose has a hint of barn and alcohol over the dark plum and blueberry. Pleasant mouthfeel of dry black fruit cassis and blackberry. Dry finish of dark cherries with cigar box notes.

Great Malbec. Deep violet color, lovely nose of dark fruit with cassis and cedar wood. Medium body of dark fruit, dark chocolate blueberry jam and a sprinkle of sweet cherries. Long and silky mouthfeel with some tannic notes in the finish.

This really ticks all marks for a good Bordeaux wine. At this price point it is a bargain.

This is powerful fruit driven and has a lovely flowery (a bit to alco) nose. Peppery cherries with a bitter note, chocolate and blackberry finish. Maybe aging will soften the edges but i will not hesitate drinking now.

Surprisingly soft and lush at this age. Very drinkable and enjoyable with layered dark fruit and a good bouquet of Bordeaux classic.

4/27/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

This has some odd lavender and tartness notes that i do not recall from earlier vintages. Also a bit chemical on the nose.

This is a very good one. I love the butterscotch coating of the red fruit beneath.

4/6/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

It has a lot of plum and blackberry with a swetter lush finish. Good Bordeaux character but a bit to fruity for my palate.

4/6/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Woody, dark plum and blackberries. Traditional Pauillac flavors. Coming into maturity but still feels young.

3/21/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Lush with dark plum, blackberry and some woody notes in finish. Drink now.

Well integrated and well suited for the bbq. Drink now.

Lovely fruity with some sweet notes on the balanced palate. Bright and powerful yet integrated and mellow. Lovely mouthfeel with long smooth finish.

Beautiful wine with slight bricking. Nose of cedar wood with some flowery notes. Very well integrated and balanced with some bright red fruit in the darker plum base. Surprisingly vivid classic Bordeaux feel and freshness. Soft and long finish. In its window.

Good quality with soft fruit and integrated tannins. A little to acidic for me.

3/2/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Nice fruity medium-full body of bright juicy plum. A bit of lavender and red berries. Tannins fully integrated, and the wine is energetic.

3/1/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Still a bit tannic. Fruit is a bit flat. Bad vintage?

2/25/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Opaque ruby. Mature red fruit with some woody notes but not overly oaky. Dark plum blueberry blackberry and a rather soft thick finish. Very likable but I feel there is something missing to elevate it further.

2/25/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Very closed and took its time to open up. Classic Cabernet nose with rather oaky aroma. Vibrant and young on the palate. Dark fruit and a bit high acidity makes it fresh but I think this should be left for another 5 years.

2/23/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Lovely Sangiovese nose with red cherries, strawberry and some pine forest. Well balanced with elegant red fruit and medium acidity. A wine that should pair well with almost anything.

Lovely pinot with plenty of red fruit and blossoms on the nose. A bit of spicy tartness in a pleasant way coating the palate of dark cherries and some bright acidity as well. Long and soft finish.

Chewy dark fruit. Getting into drinking window, and is very enjoyable now. Lovely long finish.

Dried exotic fruit on the nose. Sweet cherries and a bit of spicy plum marmalade with some dry tannins in the finish. I like it!

Interesting wine with a likable freshness and balance. Red fruit and berries with a hint of sweetness and some spicy pepper in the finish.

Great wine where the red fruit take the lead. Lovely balance with a appealing sweet note in the finish. Too young but already lovely.

1/13/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

Although still young I find it very lush and expressive. Tannins are well integrated and it is very enjoyable today but will last for decades. This is one of the best from a very good year.

1/6/2024 - pilatus88 Likes this wine:

This is ready to drink. Tannins are integrated and fruit is soft and fresh. A very pleasant mouthfeel of plum and red cherries notes of cloves and cedar wood as well. Smooth long finish.

Good dark fruit with dark plum and blackberries, leather and a dark cherry finish. Nice tannins well integrated with a bit of pleasant bite. this could be kept for another decade, but fully enjoyable now.

Not sure if this was just a very good bottle but i feel much more satisfied than prior tastings. This has a flowery bouquet of red berries and an elegant mouthfeel. Still overprized but it is Burgundy.

Thick and dark powerful with dark plum and some fresh blackberries.

Nice but rather simple in structure and flavor. Fruit is good and warm with nice balance but not very interesting. A good everyday wine.
