  April 23, 2021 - Coravined. Inky plum color. Toffee, stewed cherry, and mocha on the nose. Smooth, dry palate. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.

  October 31, 2020 - One of the 2017 I’ve had that has showed really well. This was opened for awhile before presented.
  
  I would range this 93-94 after another 5-7 years in bottle with an outside chance at a 95 after 10 plus years in bottle. This 2017 will last 20 years from birth properly stored.
  
  This Addax has gorgeous texture and mouthfeel. It’s round, velvety, silky, big & lush. Tannins already round & soft. The structure, tension, balance & length are good now and show greater promise. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, some blue & purple fruits, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, sweet tarriness, expresso roast, well layered baking spices; cinnamon, light nutmeg, clove & vanilla. Light dry crushed rocks & volcanics, soft leather, saddle-wood, fresh tobacco notes, hints of graphite, some dry brush, anise with beautiful fresh; dark, red & purple florals. The acidity is excellent & round. The big, lush, ruby, elegant, well balanced & knitted finish is beautiful across the palate. Solid experience wire to wire.
