    June 9, 2018 - Amazing Bordeaux blend. Ready to drink now in 2018 but possibly still a touch young; has enough tannins for another 10 years. Medium bodied intensely concentrated and complex. Plenty of juicy fruit and a few hints of musky tertiary flavors that should be bolder with bottle time. A nice decant is warranted right now. Drank May 2018

It’ll be great to see how it evolves in bottle. I have just 2 bottles of this vintage and will open the next one in 2024 to see the change. Enjoy and Cheers!
