  Tasted at the estate. Nice property!
  
  However, this along w the Lotus are so over rated. Nice and mellow, but a bit too monolithic and hollow for my old world palette. Not my style but somewhat easy to drink, 92/93 depending on my mood.
  
  The ABV of 15.2% is obnoxious. Same w the Lotus. Didn't make me feel good, and that for me is what wine is about. Feeling good! And of course consuming with good friends and loved ones. Certainly one glass is plenty and to be shared, I would not recommend drinking more than a glass for fear of a hangover that will last a week!
  
  Morlet tasting visited after blew this off the table.

  Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Small glass, brief note. As ripe and fleshy as imaginable. Warmer than wine I can easily enjoy. Not for me.

  At Anhelo in Phoenx trying to decide which bottle as there are waaay to many of my favorites at reasonable prices to choose from so… seeing my struggle they said let’s Coravin cool stuff- yes and thank you.
  
  Started off with Billecart Salmon Rose (wife favorite) followed by 2019 Jadot Montrachet and two reds, 2015 Onda and 2018 Marquis d’Alesme with the main course- so cool.
  
  The onda was firing on all cylinders- in a perfect spot and will stay here for a while and might even improve a bit. So well made, dark berries, earth, dark chocolate, and delicious spice. 93+
