  Day 1: First bottle was slightly corked. I will say I like another vintage of this wine but this 2017 is awful. Hot wine with oak, vanilla, spices, ripe fruits and no balance. This is a huge disappointment. The fact Vinous Media gave this 90 points only should be alarming. 84 points
  Day 2: A little better but not much. So much oak/vanilla even worse than a Rioja aged in new American oak. Some fruit there but so heavy. Dark chocolate on the finish. 84.5 points
  Day 3: The worst of the days. What a mess of a wine with over the top oak with little else showing through. 80 points
  Recommendation: Unless you like big oak wines this one is not for you and I don't see this aging well but if you have some drink 2028 and beyond.

  From 750. Uncorked 3 days ago, but my bride recorded when the guys started falling asleep in the pool. Tar, alcohol and dark fruit on the nose; wine had the greatest depth and body during the first hour after reopening, but still got more out of this than I have from earlier 375’s of the wine.
