By the bottle, but didn't really get to decant this, so treat this as PnP.
I think Artemis is an overhated wine and 2022 is an overhated vintage.
Don't get me wrong, the price this commands at steakhouses and hotel bars is insane. But for $60 retail, it's a reasonable, not amazing, deal.
This definitely features a good amount of complexity. Dark cherries, blueberry, slight graphite, slight floral notes as well.
Nice body with balanced acidity. Tannins still pretty grippy, not too harsh. Probably would benefit from air or age.
I'd say drink this over the next five years. In contrast to other wines by Stag's Leap, especially from superior vintages, this probably isn't built to age for decades, but is more approachable early on.
90 points.
