Easily my favorite fourth growth. This stuff is so great now but I'd love to have a case and revisit every year for the next decade plus. It is so beautifully made it makes me wonder how other wines cost over $50 and don't even come close to this... I will be buying a case if I can find it

Could use a bit more age as expected. But still very polished and complex. Lots of minerality and forest floor, wet stones and moist clay, extracted as hell, black currant and lead for days. A great bottle for the price point.

A stained cork from bottom to top gave me pause. Phew! All good. Dusty notes dominate early on with stewed plumbs and Aussie scrub (underbrush) not far behind. Let’s see where we are in an hour. Sixty minutes on firmly delivers with a weighty 65% Cab Sauv with, dare I say it, a slight nod to Napa. Chewy tannins with continuous dust rounds it all out. I like this wine. As to down the road…I think we’ve arrived au point.

Two-hour decant. Wow! This is going to be a stunner down the road.
