Cathiard Malconsorts Vertical (Longo Seafood): Served as the youngest wine in a five vintage vertical, this was showing surprisingly more expressive than shut down, in a style pretty consistent with the 2014, just a bit more fruit concentration but still with good underlying acidic freshness underneath. More of a modern classic than a wine pushing the envelope of ripeness such as a CLB. The oak is also seemingly well integrated here, and for all five of the wines. Continue to hold these as the wine seems to be just past its early and overtly expressive stage that the 21's figure to be entering now.

2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy): Very primary nose displaying explosive black fruit, blackberry, blackberry jam, black cherry, Vonse spice, dark flowers, a hint of licorice, caramel, mocha, sweet spices and limestone. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense ripe black fruit, rich and dense yet silky, bright acidity, strong mineral, fine tannins and a long ripe black fruit driven finish with a hint of dark flowers.
