2019 vintage. Better than expected as the last few assorted vintage Artemis bottles I’ve had have been less than good. Medium-heavy body. Decent spice and tea flavors on the caboose. 2.12.26. — 2 days ago

I thought 2018 was very good. You?

@Dave 2018 a great vintage along with 2019. 2019 is more approachable tho. Can't remember if I had the 2018 but this steady producer/effort had lost my trust. This example semi-restored my faith.

9.3

2015 vintage. Light-medium body. Tasted via Coravin. Earthy, mushrooms, some very subtle spice components present. Old enough to thankfully have tossed the usual candied prettiness that marks this wine the first few years after release. Ready to boogie but no rush with this particular disco party. When we can all get together and ease up our mind. This is entering the proverbial villain phase. 2.11.26. — 3 days ago

Who's the proverbial villain ransaking the aforementioned disco ballroom blitzer here?!

@Tegan Marriott Will go with either Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity old school or Severus Snape newer school.

2019 vintage. Built for the decades. Lean structure and tannins. Medium body but just barely. This could astound in a twenty-spot. 2.11.26. — 3 days ago

9.0

1996 vintage. Decent fill. Open with a Durand and, even so, the cork was an absolute mess. Had to dig out the funnel and screen. Light-medium body. Excellent dark color. Started a bit flat but picked up a little steam after 15 minutes. This example was a little long in the tooth. 2.12.26. — 2 days ago

2018 vintage. Last tasted 5.29.24 (9.3) and 4.20.23 (9.4). This bottle in a state of transition with light-medium/medium body and tasted a little off. Had a sample bottle of the winery's chardonnay that was maderized...this could have been included in the same package. Not rating. — 3 days ago
