Roasted nuts, cranberry, fresh and earthy at the same time. Yet also ripe, but fresh. Syrah-like ripe red fruit notes. Slight bitterness from seeds and stems. Rose petals. Still tannic, this has a bright future. — 16 days ago

Lacks complexity but its a truly excellent bottle and is singing now. Really good wine that is long lasting in bottle. Classical style. — a month ago

Just like the other two White Bordeaux from 1996 tonight, this seemed advanced, lush and rich. — a month ago

9.1

Double decant and pour(some fine sediment). A splendid still dark magenta color with bricking. On the nose: Beautiful areomatics of blackberry, cigar box, worn leather, green vegi, bandaid(brett). Taste: savory, elegant, structured wine with some sour cherry, currants, tobacco leaf, charred earth, and a crushef rock-coffee medium finish. Sure, on the downside, but still drinks savory good tonight. — a day ago

2020 vintage. Heavy floral aromas of plum and cherry on the nose, deep ruby red in color. Full bodied, a slight chew on the initial intake, but still smooth on the finish. Continued to open up, great pairing with steak, phenomenal quality for the price range, $30-$40. — 22 days ago
