Keith Levenberg’s note is excellent. Dark black fruit that seems like it’s still going to evolve. Great perfumed black cherry nose, some spice, maybe tar, chewy mouthfeel w some decent acidity and a bit of tannin left. Medium finish. Amazing QPR for what I paid and wish I had more.

From magnum. Great bottle and really singing once it opened. The 2 Jan ‘24 notes are instructive. Dark black and cherry fruits, medium body, medium finish, integrated tannin, good acidity, somewhat suppressed nose but nice spice and a little cedar and tar.

Great half bottle but maybe not as good as the prior one. Nice botrytis, mouth feel and finish but the acidity seemed a little faded so there was some flabbiness I’d say. Still, this is nitpicking a bit on an otherwise excellent showing.
