Delicate crisp feel in the mouth with grapefruit notes. Lingers on the tongue but not too strong in the throat. Fruity notes, paired perfectly with fishy dishes. Would recommend to a friend. — 6 years ago

A perfect wine. Balanced and complex. A gorgeous first hit of plum with a hint of cherry. So broad fruit at first but then settles on the tongue with a noise terror of tannin. No bitterness just smooth and lovely. Girgeous wine. 2010 vintage gift bottle from Donna and Anders — 2 months ago

Hate to be a typical wine drinker, but there was a smooth and velvety taste with a continuous bite at the end. Completely coats the tongue with flavor from start to finish. — 10 months ago

I guess I’m drinking this too soon! Need to better manage the cellar… tremendous fruit on the nose as I decanted that became more vegetal with time. Bright and leathery on the tongue, rich and luscious in the mouth. Strong tannins — easy to see how others are enjoying it at twice the age. — 3 years ago

First impression on the nose is of freshly installed carpet and peppercorn. Hits the tip of your tongue as a tingling glitter and down the back of throat with notes of peppercorn, blackberry, Cuban cigar ash, and slight smoke taint. — 7 years ago

Balanced but fruit is front and center through to the finish with a soft velvety tongue. The bourbon barrels come through with a deliciously harmonious, and unique surprise. — 8 years ago

Strong yeasty nose, like fresh lemon bread,

Yeastiness grabs your tongue with lychee, lemon, verbana and skips rope with it, adding delightfully tight and well structured bubbles each almost popping with their own honeyed explosion. Lingering finish of all these flavors, and a few moments of reflection.

Right place at the right time. A lovely couple, about to get married - Brought over a bottle to a family celebration. Shared some wine with me, so l shared some Champagne knowledge, and of course, opened the bottle with the faintest of hiss.

Already so lovely, but still so young. Medium ruby red in the glass with long, lusty legs and a wide brim. The nose is exactly what you think a classic Left Bank Bordeaux should be. Cassis, plums, and tobacco immediately upon opening. New leather and oak with just the right amount of earth. Very nice.

Big, powerful, and virile. Amazing balance and purity for a wine so young. Still a bit tannic at times but decanting certainly helps with that. Pretty fruit on the palate with blackberries and cherries. Soft vanilla undertones from start to finish along with licorice and more earth on the tongue.

Very impressive with such depth and such personality. As good as this is today it will be so much better if you can show patience. Put these away and try your best to forget about them and you will be rewarded. — 7 months ago

So delicious. Plums, black cherry and Christmas spices. Lots going on and lots to love about it. This wine will also have a special place in our hearts because it was the first wine we opened after our son was born. Unbeknown to us before pulling it, the cork says "Love Your Mother". — 6 years ago

Dark ruby. A powerhouse meritage. A silky smooth wine. Nose profile is representative of Bordeaux grapes that continues to evolve when opened in the glass. — 8 years ago
