    June 17, 2023 - Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): A bit of a rarity if CT is to be believed; I'd never seen this bottling before. But the juice was good. Like the PMR, this has a nice fullness to the palate that I don't always find in Ceritas; there's more fruit and power in these two bottles. The amount of acidity keeps this fresh, but there's also good depth and complexity here. Very nice.

    April 6, 2023 - Drinking beautifully. Mature, on the lighter side (and has loads of acid) but with good density and length.

    December 30, 2022 - Drinking great, still. Classic Ceritas subtlety and complexity. This was really a lovely light chard.

    December 4, 2022 - My previous 2017 note indicated a more immediacy to drinking these. That wasn’t the case for me. This is drinking just as it has before with slight acid, bit of citrus, butterscotch, almost some petrol (in a good way). This has resolved beautifully with a nose of Chablis. No decant needed. I’m guessing this will keep mellowing without dropping off for a number of years. It’s is a great place so I wouldn’t wait though. I’ll hold my mangum for many years.

    April 13, 2022 - This started at 93 pts. or so, but went downhill within an hour or so. Ended at about 90, so I would drink any remaining bottles sooner than later.
