October 30, 2022 - Smoky, with meat and creosote, blackberry fruit with some blue notes as well. Oak still somewhat thick. A massive and interesting wine, reminds me of Chave in a hot year. Good plus.

November 7, 2021 - A 4 hr decant and this was singing beautifully — lots of ripe red fruit, some underlying ripe black fruit, with loads of minerality, acidity, and complexity for a wonderful 45 second finish. Paired beautifully with filets, and we have one bottle left to try. At its peak I think.

August 31, 2021 - Slow ox for two hours. The slow ox time really helped opening this up compared to the last time I drank this. This is full bodied with a very long finish but shows beautifully pure, balanced cherry and plum fruit with a touch of smoked meat and spice. This is quite new world in style buts it’s delicious, deep and complex.
