January 26, 2024 - Even better than a few years ago, now you find caramel, honey, flowers, and fresh, sweet, overripe pineapples with a hint of spice, racy, honeyed apricots, and orange rind. Drink from 2024-2040.

January 25, 2024 - UGCB SF Tasting Event (Metreon, San Francisco): No 2021 because of frost, so they've chosen to pour the '18? What an odd choice. Overly sweet, a bit oaky, and insufficient acid to carry the botrytis and sugar. Didn't care for this. 85

January 24, 2024 - UGC 2021 Bordeaux (Vibiana, Los Angeles, CA): The nose is immediate and a bit unrefined, filling the nose with kumquats, melons, red apples, nectarines, apricots, peaches, and yellow flowers. The tones more sit on the surface and this doesn't really show off too much depth. The Full bodied feel is balanced and textured with tart, high acidity. The lack of depth from the nose carries through on the palate. It is well textured and possibly a bit awkward right now. I could see this improving with at least another 5+ years of aging.

January 22, 2024 - Union Des Grands Crus Bordeaux (New York City, NY, USA): Rather typical, everything in the right place, balanced but unremarkable for me today.
