January 19, 2024 - PnP, then drunk over dinner, no TN.
Very young and lively, with acidity and (very fine-grained) tannins giving it a nice structure. -

December 15, 2023 - Confirming this is done and over its prime. Brought to the Hongs for Hanukkah. Even more one-note than in the past. Nothing particularly complex and dynamic. Too bad. Cellartracker says we have one more bottle, but I think this was the final/last.

February 14, 2023 - Plugging away at this one. Not mind-blowing. Fine. Still verging little more towards reductive and not as seductive. Still feel like I'd like to see how it progresses with a few bottle still left in inventory, but I also wonder if that's a foolish approach.

November 16, 2022 - Ugh. Our notes suggest this was coming up and peaking. We've had consistently good experiences with this one (and one mixed review, I think). Anyhow... Something harsh here. Very cough syrup-y. Sharp on the palate. Not feeling this one. Let it sit out overnight (not in fridge) and we'll see how it does on day two.

June 27, 2022 - Le vin s’est délié, il est maintenant bien approchable, juteux, frais, précis. Ça glisse et se boit tout seul, avec une bonne profondeur. 91 pts
