April 22, 2024 - See previous notes. Kirsch, Lavender, garrigue, and minerality. Medium acidity and tannins. Medium plus finish. Still a little tight. Good showing. Out of a 375 ml.

April 17, 2024 - Shared bottle with my wife at TORC in Napa, which has a lot of mushroom & truffle dishes. Full bodied for a Beaucastel with beautiful fruit & depth. Paired wonderfully with everything, including dark chocolate ice cream

March 20, 2024 - "Lions Share" tasting note is a great descriptor of this wine, my score was less but the tasting note is on point. These wines to me need 10-15 years to get that secodnary profile. This was still primary but the value of this wine is off the charts

March 14, 2024 - Either in a protracted reduction phase or simply punching above its (current) weight, this very pricey bottle left us unimpressed. Shy notes of cassis, blackberries, liquorice, garrigue pencilshave and earthy notes in the finish. To be revisited in some years.
