Maybach ‘19 Tasting so fine. Pretty dark fruit flavors, chocolate mousse, slight earthiness, river rock and rich mineral streak. Paired with a steak. Yum yum. I’ll check back in 6 months or so see how it’s evolving. Cheers all

Recently had one of HMCs '19 Materium which was REAL big and juicy. Three hour decant here. This '19 Amoenus is not far behind it! Deep opaque ruby in the glass with a nose of Florals, briar and red raspberry sauce. Like the kind you'd find inside your steaming hot dark chocolate souffle at your fav French restaurant? Like the Materium this is wayyy too young but with some additional airtime it's splendid. Red berry liqueur with notes similar to BCellars Ehrlich to it. As it plays out thru the night some Coke syrup and a hint of chocolate show up near the ending. Very, very nice but maybe a few more years would be its perfect window?

Three hour decant. Nearly opaque electric magenta color. Ripe blackberry, dark raspberry sauce in a soufflé, chocolate ganache, violet, and subtle melted vanilla ice cream. Very smooth, dry palate, with fine acidity. Firm, full, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.
This will improve, but it’s already a fun drinker. Looking forward to having the next bottle in 2+ years. Enjoyed this with Mark1NPT and our lady friends.

Dream Trip - Napa On A Mission - All My favorites Plus A Few New Ones; 4/1/2021-4/4/2021 (Napa Valley): This is always the ‘other’ wine but to me is an early favorite and over performs, this vintage will be no different. Rich full bodied with dark black fruits, sweet earth and minerals. With all the amazing wines we drank this trip, this wine can hold its own. So good now and will only get better with a couple years in bottle. Very good as always. Won't rate due to small sample size and not enough time to allow it air- we just could not put this wine down (I will say the same thing about all three they were just that darn good).

So smooth. A glass on night one and the rest on day two. Better on day two but the change was still fairly small. Good sign for aging, I think.

Super extracted and linear. Has some solid structure though. Beautiful if you like this style.
