Apple, lemon, mango, melon and slate. Great acidity and minerality. — 4 months ago
I have always enjoyed their wines. I like the dark expresso notes they give and under Antinori their portfolio continues to improve.
As of 2021, their Artemis will be made from the Conn Creek vineyards they acquired; which should raise its quality and price point I’m sure.
As for the 21 SLV, it showed well and one of the better young SLV’s I’ve had in a while. 94-96.
WS Grand Tour Las Vegas 2025. — 5 months ago
A highly perfumed nose evokes fresh honeydew melon Meyer lemon pear nectar and white flowers and a smoky mineral nuance builds as the wine opens up. Sappy concentrated and incisive on the palate offering intense citrus and orchard fruit flavors and chamomile and saffron flourishes. A dusty mineral element adds vibrant lift and cut to the impressively long sharply delineated finish which leaves behind a suave floral note. — 5 years ago

We had the 2021 Vintage on 6/13-14/25. An excellent representation of a good SLH PN. Scents and tastes of black cherry, black raspberry, cinnamon and baking spices. Well balanced, fruit forward. Very good and consistent over many years — 4 months ago

Decant and pour. A splendid dark purplish garnet color. On the nose: inviting aeromatics jump from the glass with dark cherry jam, graphite, herbaceous, vanilla oak, floral. Taste: blackberry/black cherry, crushed stone ,tar, spice, and a medium plus tannic kick me wine. Like to try again in a few years. — 4 months ago
Direct follow up to 2020 vintage. Much more earthy terroir taste than the 2020 fruit bomb. Very enjoyable with more complex hints of flavor — 4 months ago

(92-94; Drink 2021-36)
Our second go at this bottle in about two years, notes consistent; perhaps this bottle was showing younger, suggest futures will drink well through 2036+.
