2005 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Great fill and cork. Hovering about on the various drafts and reluctant to commit to any distinctive/particular characteristic other than ethereality. Decidedly precious and delicate. One bottle left. 12.5.25. — 14 days ago

The nose on this is stunning. Big and black fruit with a dollop of tar. The pallete follows the nose with blackberries, plum, dusty rock, and dark soil. An enjoyable balance of fruit and earth. Steak wine! This is excellent.

Just curious Dave, as a non native English speaker. I was always under the assumption that palette is something that a painter uses and the palate is what you use to describe the tasting sensory system. I see palette more often used in wine descriptions. Can you enlighten me?

Dave

You are correct! And I, as an English speaker, am known to misspell frequently 🤦‍♂️ Palate is correct! @Jan A

Back at our new favorite seafood restaurant and so very difficult to find the right red wine pairing (we were in the mood for some red….don’t judge us!)
Our new Sommelier BFF (Michael) steered us to this region and he was spot on! Light, fresh, red fruits…delicious 😋 — 3 months ago

We had the 2012 Vintage on 12/5-6/25. A nice wine from St. Emillion. A nice herbaceous bouquet of black fruit and tabaco. BlackBerry, plum, chocolate and leather on the palate. Old World. Medium bodied. A good wine for the price — 13 days ago

Popped and poured for Thanksgiving dinner. No V.A detected on nose or palette. Had with non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner of duck cassoulet, and it was a wonderful pairing. Lovely initial cherry notes on the palette followed with anise, woodsy herbs, and hints of leather with nice and smooth mouth feel. Tannins are well-integrated. Finish was long and beautiful. — 21 days ago
