2020 vintage. Last tasted 2.26.25 (9.2). Still consistently hard knox and durty sox and performing as such. Dunno for how long but, for now, nailing the trapeze act. 08.30.25.

100% merlot. This wine has a fruity nose with a bit of rubber under it. Cherries, bitter strawberries, and a little bit of chalky minerality. Typical Saint Emilion flavor profile, with a very light mouthfeel.
Listening to the Arctic Monkeys.

Chalky, cocoa, bitters, wonderful nose. Want to dab it behind my ears.
