Not a good vintage, but according to the experts it's ready. After it opened up, it was great.

Katie guessed a 2018 Chianti... not too far off.

Side by side taste of Dry Aged vs Wagyu Striploin. Happy long weekend.

Diesel/latex nose that’s present on the palate with wood, earth, and hints of fruit. Nice structure but not my favorite flavors.

A lot of pleasure on this intense red cherry red fruit wine, with coated tannins, balanced by a dry character and a beautiful mineral tension that gives a very beautiful structure. The whole is arbitrated by a well-melted aging with smoky notes, cedar, tobacco. 2017 is just ready to drink

Beaucoup de plaisir sur ce vin fruits rouges griottes intenses, aux tanins enrobés, contrebalancés par un caractère sec et une belle tension minérale qui donne une très belle structure. Le tout est arbitré par un élevage bien fondu aux notes fumées, cèdre, tabac. 2017 est tout juste assez fondu pour être bu.

Oak and black currant and blueberry aroma. Sweet tannic. A bit young. @3230, 221021
