August 23, 2023 - Blackberry syrup, medium length, a bit closed down. But on the periphery: flowers, black tea, and the tannins to probably break down into a fine, viscous mouthful. Wait 5 years?

April 2, 2023 - Decanted for two hours. Infanticide, this deserves more time in the cellar. Blueberries, salumi, lilacs, white pepper, violets and plumeria. Exceptionally long and vibrant, this is somewhat shutdown and has the silkiest of tannins. A glorious, textured middle. The body is full, but this imbues elegance. There’s a wonderful aftertaste of berries and meatiness. More Cornas-like than previous vintages. ‘16 is still my favorite, but this is quite close. Drink 2027 - 2040.

March 9, 2023 - Tasted from barrel 5/28/22. 98 - 100. Silky, layered, jubilant and utter beauty. The middle palate of legends. Difficult to state if this will shut down or open up more, but the gesture and nuance potential are all there. Could this rival or exceed the amazing ‘16? I sure look forward to finding out!
