The opposite of "lush, lush, opulent, succulent, and hedonistic as all get out" as was described with the original offer.

Given the Black Friday deals being offered in 2022, I had to give 17 a try (had gifted 4 bottles but not opened any). Opened and immediately poured and tasted. Seemed somewhat reserved at first so I was thinking to not go in for a case. After 10 minutes max, the wine opened beautifully and I was blown away with how delicious this was. Immediately logged in to purchase a case at the incredible BF discount.

Absolutely loved this wine. Opened up, immediately into decanter and immediately into the glass. This is amazing right now, super silky and I think it will get better over time. This is by far the best ~$40 wine I have ever had and one of the best wines I have had. Not sure on points but 92-94'ish in my opinion so going to err on the side of caution and give it 92.

Have purchased 300+ bottles of de Négoce and luckily I only have 2 of these. This is the first and only disappointment so far with Négoce. Poured a glass upon opening and tried to drink it but it was just bad. Hoped some over night decanting would help. Nope... Got worse. Poured the rest down the drain. Guessing the final bottle won't get any better with age so will probably try that soon and probably toss that out too.

Bottle was gifted to us about a year ago so we finally got around to opening this evening. Absolutely incredible and I was really shocked when I researched that I could pick the current vintage up for $13 at my local Total Wine. Going to probably buy a case and let it sit for 5 years and hopefully it will be as good as this bottle was.

To date have opened 2 of these and disappointingly, there just is not much going on here. Was hoping with this much age, there would be some complexities but this wine is just okay. Nothing much to write home about. Hoping that maybe these 2 bottles were bad and the next 10 are amazing.

January 2022 update. All except 1 fell completely flat. Pretty much sw results as the 2006 vintage.

Drinking really well right now. Alcohol references from earlier reviews are completely gone. Wife described as very jammy and I completely agree. This is really enjoyable right now.

Community notes initially indicated a drink date by 2019. I purchased a case of this back in Dec 2017. Opened the first bottle last night and it is still holding up strong. Merryberry's notes were pretty spot on. We detected cherries, some blackberries, and definitely the soft tannins. It was a really nice wine, especially at the price paid. I believe it will at least be good through 2021.

This is a very good wine in a beautiful and incredibly heavy bottle. Unfortunately, this wine, for my wife and I, did not have the same elegance of other red wines similarly priced from California. Maybe it still needs some more time in the cellar. We purchased 3 bottles and will hold on to the other 2 for at least a couple more years.

Had this at a Hamilton show last night. I can't describe it but the wine was just bad. Wish I would have gone with the house wine as I am sure it would have been better. The wine hadn't gone bad, it was just bad.

P&P was really nice. Full bodied. Tasty, berries, maybe a little chalky. Had one glass first night. Finished bottle second night and wine really opened up nicely. Very enjoyable.
