  April 19, 2024 - Fruit jumps at u with a slight note of vanilla on the nose. Palate says red fruits over dark fruits. Super approachable. Kind of harmonious an in a good place to be consumed. Nothing over done at the moment. Gave it 4 hours of air in the bottle with some space for the wine to touch the air. Lasting finish. Not a spectacular wine but I have no complaints. Of course it could be better but everything could be better. In a good drinking window after some time to breathe. Drink up friends.

  March 30, 2024 - Very dry, high acidity, purple hue. The next day tasted better, you could pick up some plum, but still fairly acidic and dry. I’ve had other vintages (I forget which ones) that were delicious, but I would not buy another bottle of 2017 again.

  October 12, 2022 - Drank with a great steak dinner at Club A in NYC. Not the most complex wine in the history of the world, but a very nice mouthful that was perfect with the steak.
  
  I have a large cellar of traditional Bordeaux that I very much enjoy, but top Bordeaux from the best vintages seems to take 20+ years to hit its stride. There’s something to be said for wine like this that is quite tasty 5 years after the vintage.
