  April 8, 2024 - To date, best bottle of 2024.
  
  93...at times 94, but largely 93 for the evening. Alcohol presence the only detractor.
  
  Next bottle late 2028 or early 2029.

  March 13, 2024 - This is a superbly intense wine that is ultra polished and well made. Still but a baby. HAs very much more to give!

  November 18, 2022 - Eclectic lineup with a 2002 Valbuena, 2013 Kosta Browne Gap's Crown Pinot, 2009 Reserve de la Comtesse, and 2016 SamiOdi Hoffman Dallwitz Shiraz. This is the first time I have ever had the opportunity to have this offering. Much more familiar with their Merlot, but have never had a chance to geek out on this one. The nose and initial palate is dark purple violets, funeral flowers with a hint of soy sauce. Mature black cherry and dash of rhubarb. The middle and finish goes darker than I it really was expecting but extremely delicious nonetheless. Softening tannin on the finish. Spice cake and dark red fruit density. Through the finish, you get a glimpse of the rocky and volcanic and calcareous soil that this wine likely came from. Still displayed a lot of youthful sweetness, and maybe actually a little bit more of this than what I thought. Really a very good wine in a good spot. If you are holding these, it's probably not a bad idea to keep holding. If you have multiple, might not be a bad idea to start drinking one every 1-2 years and yes I do feel like this one will continue to evolve and develop.

  October 2, 2022 - First bottle of this wine. Nose fruit forward and pleasant on opening. But quite tight, dry, and cold. Probably takes three hours to open up. Morphs into a rich wine with dark complex fruit. Quite nice.
