Thursday, May 18, 2023 - Very consistent to VINUM DEORUM's notes below.

Not a sophisticated or deep wine, but a testament on how a great producer can still make something enjoyable in a difficult vintage. Fill is well into neck and color just getting a little mahogany on the rim. No signs of musty/over developed aromas this bottle was in top condition. Bottle breathed for 30 minutes and this was ready to go. Tannins are fully integrated, still fresh, a little hawthorn and tertiary notes, not long but elegant and straight forward. I enjoyed this more than I thought.
