June 11, 2021 - Tasted double blind from a small bottle. A bit meaty, a bit of sauvage, purple florals, garrigue and chewable vitamins. A bit of blackberry fruit. but
Big and hot on palate - a bit unruly. Sweet fruit and cola, more vitamins, lots of sauvage and some guts sweet fruit - almost dripping. Finish starts to come together a bit but is marred by heat. Nose - 3.5-4/6, Palate - 3-3.5/6, Finish - 3/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 0/2 = 9.5-10.5/20. -

June 11, 2021 - Beautiful smooth strawberry accented wine. Second time I've opened this blind for friends and second time everyone guessed Burgundy. Still probably my favorite Arcadian wine.

May 11, 2018 - Might be best Arcadian I've tasted. AT 17 years old, it still had pungent perfumed bouquet, medium to light body/mouth, medium acids and low tannins. Fruit was bright.

-- from 5L --
Spicy red-fruited aromatics on the Nose --- obvious tertiary development, but there's still plenty of fruit sticking around. Color is that of a maturing wine. Very enjoyable maturing flavors; high acidity; some leather/brett; seems pretty open, and likely in its prime drinking window; Drink Now. -

August 8, 2017 - Big Arcadian Tasting in ATL (1997-2008) (Antico Posta): A special bottle for me. The first Arcadian I ever drank, about ten years ago, and the first bottle I shared with Hardy when we started hanging back in the day. Lovely tonight. Co-WOTN. Beautiful silky texture. Soft and silky. Stem notes, herbal and earthy. An intensity of core red fruit, but light on its feet and dances. So tasty. Ugh. All day I could drink this. Lovely. This was not on out list and a surprise bottle brought by.....who? Guys?
