  April 1, 2024 - Popped and poured. Still outstanding, though a tad less impressive than my 2022 tasting of the same wine. Strong color with a bloody rim, and a nose that is still very lovely and expressive. Seems to have lost just a bit in the mouth, but still alive and kicking. Still, I’d for drinking any remaining stock in the near term. 5-13-16-9: 93/100.

  January 12, 2024 - Note after about an hour open. Lovely colour, some maturity, but nice and bright. Maybe a little reticient on the nose, but the palate is strong and vibrant with nice acidity and medium tannins. Juicy and fresh but with mature hints. Drinking very well but without the "wow". Will update if it transforms later.....

  December 15, 2023 - Grenache/Mourvedre, aromas of cassis, kirsch, blackberries and a lot of roasted herb, meat and licorice smells. Very intense, very warm, dense and meaty, long finish

  November 3, 2023 - I felt this was opened too soon, which I regret. Decanted for 2 hours but it never fully opened up. Maybe a longer decant was needed, but I’d say a few more years cellaring would help more. Definitely has potential, you can tell there is quality of fruit, but not quite there for me.
