  8/27/2023 - xyc Does not like this wine:

  Saturated mildly plummy fruit, hints of spice and chocolate on the finish. Not a classic structured Bdx though enjoyable and well priced.
  The lower half of the cork was stained bright purple and the cork broke up upon opening. You may want to do regular checks on any held in in the cellar.
  
  Day 2 I thought there was a whiff of funk and some bitter taste but waited for second taste.
  Odd funky sulfuric like aroma not like anything I've encountered in wine. Not barnyard, nor vinegar. Bitter stem is extreme today. Bad bottle.

  Still rather plummy, with a plump rounded palate. Quite delicious at this stage, with a night blend of blues and reds and violets on the nose. Fresh with a nice tannic backbone. Nice medium weight bdx. For early drinking.

  Blue fruits and dried flowers. Medium bodied with silky tannins and quite sappy acids and good freshness. Yet this wine remains tightly coiled and really needs time.

  With steak, baked potato, cesar salad, classic meal. Deep, bold wine, tannic, to my taste buds, a good pairing. But I suspect it may still be young. I would like to do a verticle of this same wine with some older vintages. Any suggestions?

  Medium-bodied, fresh and floral, with a core of bright, sweet, fresh red fruits along with a gentle touch of dark chocolate and spice in the endnote. Drink from 2022-2029.
