This is the Paratus, not Martin Ray. Drinking way too early but who cares. Gave it a 4 hrs decant. Light handed, subtle cab. Some gorgeous notes on the nose. A few more years to mellow out the acid will do this wonders — 22 days ago
Been a few years but this bottle and Maloof in general always delivers. Sharp acidity. Great on a warm summer night — a month ago
First time trying Kenzo, fittingly while in Japan. This was lovely. Beautiful weight and plenty of acidity. SB and semillon — 2 days ago
Drying process definitely notable. Nice wine but somewhat muted - lacked some balance to give it more life. — a month ago
Nose was off the charts. Already very integrated for 22. Very good but doesn’t separate itself from the pack at this price point — a month ago
Excellent Etna. So fun exploring a region and its different producers. This had more dark chocolate smokiness than Russo. Both excellent examples — a month ago
20 yrs old, celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary. Was perfect. So perfumed, nose was the best part - brickish color, tannins resolved, but, enough bite to stay interesting — 8 days ago
Classic Bordeaux nose, if a bit muted. Had plenty of life at 20 yrs old. But a thinness on the finish that left us wanting more. — a month ago
This needs more time. Well made but not overtly exciting. Oak was notable — a month ago

This overdelivered for 2021. Maybe helped along by the 375ml format. Deep inky purple with mocha and blue fruits. Delicious — 2 days ago
