  December 25, 2023 - Dinner at Delmonico Steakhouse in Las Vegas. Gorgeous red fruit wrapped in a rich and dense layer of luscious chocolate lava cake. Hedonistic and slutty and absolutely stunning. Maybach is a guilty pleasure, to say the least, and I almost feel guilty for say this, but it gives more immediate pleasure than Schrader.

  December 5, 2023 - Ok, so for those who desire a bit more detail, this is a follow up to my last extremely brief note a few days ago…
  
  A big, sweet, ripe, purple, fruit-driven slather hound. Grab a Red Bull and top with whipped cream, and you got yerself the best Sonic blackberry slushy this side of San Antone. And to be fair, this is along the same lines as what one would expect from this wine. No surprises. If you like Materium, you’ll like this Materium. It’s on the ripe end of the ripe spectrum, was probably picked in late December, and carries a viscosity that Brer Rabbit would envy (see what I did there?... as in Brer Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses? Cute, right?! ……….you get it…). I feel like the last 5 years have made this even richer and more chocolatey. And again, if that’s your jam, this will literally be your ‘jam.’
  
  Designed for those who feverishly elbow their ways through masses of merrymakers to board the flavor-choo-choo and ride it all the way to Miami Beach.

  July 28, 2023 - Still a bit young, lots of balanced fruit, acidity and tannins with balanced secondary and tertiary notes .
  Superb wine

  March 26, 2023 - Drank this at my 70th birthday with family. We splurged for a private chef. If you can't drink a Maybach when you turn 70, when can you drink it? Dinner was skirt steak. Some fruit. Very smooth. Great dark color. Full body. I tasted some chocolate. A hint of tannins suggest this will keep for a while. The previous week I enjoyed the 2013. What the heck! The bottle was slow ox'd for 90 minutes. Drink or hold.
