2017 vintage. Medium body. Upon opening, fairly compact for a “resto vintage”. The usual tar and dark cherry notes. The longer this was open, the more fanciful it got. French Toast. Cola nut. Chambord. Eucalyptus. White pepper. Pomegranate/hibiscus. Transitioned into a Barolo/(red) Burgundy hybrid. Not enuff structure to go more than 4-5 years in this current uniform. Would attempt another open field tackle again in the near future tho. If you wanna crush an above-decent Barolo tonight without infanticide/ca$hi$h/non-compliant tannin issues, you could do immeasurably worse. 12.15.24. — a year ago

Sickly sweet cherry plum syrup on the nose with notes of vanilla and cloves. Luscious mouthfeel. Liquid smoke and chambord, grilled plums, and raspberry jam on the palate. Mild tannins. Long luxurious finish. The alcohol level is just too high. — 2 years ago

Not as good as that 2008 of this, but not bad at all. — 2 months ago

In the pocket w/long life ahead: solid Napa CS - usually priced out of these wines, but I picked this up years ago and decided to see where it was: super inky, not a sign of age, very generous fragrant nose right away, lots of [chambord] liqueur like blackberry, black cherry, black raspberry, cassis, and well integrated oak. Rich luscious viscous on palate, finely grained tannins, loads of fruit from nose and a lengthy finish. Perfect w/ribeye — 2 years ago

Delightful out of 500ml: nose of luxurious Chambord, decadent, held the alcohol well, smooth rich finely detailed, more Ruby than Tawny, youthful & vibrant. Thoroughly enjoyed - reminiscent of some domestic Zin based “port” — a year ago

2007 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and throughout 1.5 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body. Initially filled with Chambord and sweaty saddle flavors and aromas. Picked up some copper/aluminum flavors along with a distinct, pushy zinc finish after that 1.5 hours. Seems to have enough personality to go steady for another 5-6 years without a noticeable drop-off. 11.12.23. — 2 years ago
