AA's wedding; 8/17/2017-8/19/2017 (Fremont, CA) : Classic mature Bordeaux - Black fruit, riper and more Merlot-driven than the Reignac, slight pyrazines, brett, new oak. Sweet tobacco and tamari tertiary notes. Dry, medium body, medium plus alcohol, medium tannins - very soft and melted. Everything is here!

Dinner at Home (Fremont, CA) : Deep ruby with minimal bricking, less than expected for age; moderately aromatic with some sandalwood, tobacco, figs prominent on the nose; palate is full bodied, fully integrated medium tannin, medium acid, balanced medium alcohol, smooth texture throughout, red fruit; medium finish. This is ready to drink and mature, but it has at least 1-2 years left. Overall a very nice bordeaux for the release price. 89

From 750: This may be an outlier score, considering the scores given by other cellar trackers,but I beg to differ. Given the lowly appellation, this wine is really impressive. Lovely nose leads to a well balanced palate showing the coffee and chocolate notes that Merlot often exudes. Chunky perhaps, rather than elegant, and perhaps a little lacking in acidity, this wine delivers. Last bottle. Wish I had more.

Pleasant nose with pencil shavings and dark berries. Full but not over powering tanins. Served with steak, very nuce.

Party (Fremont, CA) : Coravin 8/16/14: I last had this 2-3 years ago and thought it needed a few years. Deep ruby color without bricking, youthful appearing; nose has some sandalwood, good density, a core of black fruits that is somewhat impenetrable; palate is full bodied, dense black fruits, fades just a tad through the midpalate, still very primary; finish is medium length. I was wrong... this needs even more time to settle in and develop more complexity. Promising components …

PNP and drank for 2 hours. Astringent, flat, uninteresting.

Right at the drinking window. Pretty resolved in terms of the balance of the wine just not so much in the nose, fruit or finish. A nice Monday beverage.

No bricking; Good black fruits, on the riper side but not over-ripe, opened up nicely with at least 30-45 minutes of air; palate is a bit too structured currently but nearly ready, nice black fruits; finish is short-moderate length. Overall very good and nearly ready, but still has 1-2 years of improvement and a few more years of plateau. Try again in 9-12 months and re-evaluate. 88-89

Very modern, some tannins but pretty open, fleshy black plum and cassis, vanillin oak, big mouthfeel, sweet, heavy. I liked but didn't love, but more appropriate food might have been in order (I mainly liked as a port substitute! ) :) B

Everyone really enjoyed even w/ just pop and pour. Not voluptuous at all but great flavors. Brooding wine. Did not try in its youth so can't comment on how it has changed

This wine is evolving the WRONG way. It is getting a bit alcoholic, hard to really describe. A bit tight upon opening, promising nose, plums...We will have to try it again to see if it improves in a year or so..

Very deep color, opaque, purplish. Nice nose of blums, blackberry, cassis. Nice round palate impression, chewy. Needs a couople more years.

Tasted unblinded at the Vintage Wines, Ltd. wine bar. First bottle corked. The second bottle was clean. Opaque black/purple robe with dark purple rim. The nose shows moderately intense aromas of plum, vanilla, currants and dust, with a somewhat bothersome unripe component. Full-bodied on the palate, with big astringent tannins, big oak and high acidity. Similar flavors as for the nose, including the "green thread". Medium, dry finish. Will clearly improve with some time in the bottle, but the vegetal …
