  Semi-guys night (My house): This had been previously coravined, about 3/4ths left. Minerality, earth, perfume, pink flowers, the finish is slightly hollow.

  5 Guys and a Gal! (Casa Joe & Khem): Is it young? Yes! Is it good? No.....it's great! This wine should sit for years, but that will be difficult as it is pretty darn tasty right now! Nose is perfumed with lots of cherry and cherry blossom, plus some cedar and spice. Palate is predominantly cherry and tree bark, with a streak of minerality featuring lots of iron and graphite, with some mushroom, forest floor, spice and some signature black pepper. A nice balance between fruit and tertiary flavors, leaning toward the fruit side of the spectrum. As much as this is in my wheelhouse now, I can't help but feel how much better it will be with a few more years of bottle age and additional complexities emerge! 94 to 94+ now, could gain a point or two with additional bottle age!

  Rich and refined on the nose with layers of berry fruit and toasty oak. Structured with great intensity on the palate. Lovely, persistent creamy black cherry and vanilla finish. Hold.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Medium ruby.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon and toast. Youthful.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium body, medium alcohol, medium plus tannins, long finish.
  
  Too young.

  {Corton Clos des Corton tasting organized by JL at Black Cat} decanted at 3pm, tasted ~ 7.30 pm. Excellent size, elegant; surprisingly available and not reserved. I think the others at the table liked this more than I did - I thought the 2016 and 2017 (quite different styles) appealed to me more tonight.
