Even better than when I reviewed in 2019. Still delicious. Not turning at all. Only difference is that it was great without decanting. Decanted anyway based on my previous note. So good!

Something appears to have gone wrong with the 2017 vintage in my cellar where it has been gently stored. I loved it in 21, 22. It is no longer delicious. Opened 2 bottles to be sure and they are indistinguishable when I close my eyes. The color is becoming orange at the rim, more astringent. When there are other vintages of poet in my cellar that I like, I’m going to reach for the good ones. I was relying upon the CT drinking window which says 21-26. It is mid 24 now. I’m going to adjust my other poet drinking windows accordingly.

Unlike the 2 bottles that I tried Jun 2, 2023, this bottle is still good. Kept in the same cellar.
