Community Tasting Note

96 Points
Tuesday, August 30, 2022 - No notes and only fleeting impressions as it was an epic night with both old friends and new before the Chateau Angelus dinner at Anhelo in downtown Phoenix tonight (8/31). All wines were split between 6.25 of us and unless noted, minimal decant (max 30 minutes).
Was very curious to taste this wine as most of the ‘18s I have had recently are still open for business but others are starting to go night night. This wine while super young is pretty damn delicious. You can 100% experience the warmer vintage yet realize all the goods are there. While drinking well now, it will be fantastic in 5-10 as this is not the vintage that requires a lengthy 20-20 year rest. Would have loved to stay with it but my glass was empty.
