April 15, 2022 - Pleasant overall, but no excitement. Just sweet red fruit with no acidity and very little structure. Maybe over the hill ?

May 4, 2018 - PnP. This wine killed in it's youth. Tonight it is good. Fully ripe, silky and a little too soft for me. Lacking a bit of acidity and perhaps headed to Raisinville. Stewed fruit initially but the nose is coming around at the 40 min mark. Chalky. Dark. Red and black licorice. Cherry fruit, spice. That said, it would be great with a nice cut of meat bc of it's weight. Righteous on the finish - a burning ember of black licorice. I'd drink now.

March 23, 2018 - Losing a bit of steam. Plenty of sweet fruit and some earth / leather. Tannins fully integrated. Feels a touch flabby at times.
