  October 12, 2023 - Enjoyed with some antipasto fire pit side. Even though the alcohol is low at 13% and the age so far, I find it hard to believe a well kept bottle is in the downside of the drinking window here. Very young and bright, bright fruits- tart cherries, pomegranate, raspberry. Smooth transition to a 20ish second finish in the mouth where the oak starts to peak through with some currants. Acid level is slightly more that I would hope for, and the blend might have been helped by slightly more merlot, but that is nit picking.
  Not a real long life ahead but easily 5 more years if it lasts. The price point in mid $20s is very accommodating.

  September 16, 2021 - Faint floral perfume, tart dark cherry. Palate: tart mixed berries, leather, drying astringency, grainy tannins that coat the mouth. Oak emerges on the finish. I haven't had too many 2017s, but this one surprised me and was quite good especially considering the price ($20).

  July 20, 2021 - Fresh, juicy, and lifted, while featuring strong terroir markers, including drying tobacco, funk, and the charred earth element for which Pessac-Léognan is known. Plum, pomegranate, and raspberry driven Merlot showed prominently, draping the blackcurrant, pepper garden, gravel, and graphite of Cabernet Sauvignon. We drained the bottle quickly. A few years in the cellar will do it no harm. Likely to pair spectacularly with fowl dishes, duck in particular.
