February 14, 2023 - So rich and smooth. Popped and poured. Fantastic nose and taste out of the bottle and it just got better over the next 90 minutes. Great wine and best label around.

March 18, 2021 - I let it breathe for 2 hours and drank over 3 (half bottle). The tannins and midly chewy and sour but fine. The fruit is ripe and pure with dark plum notes. A juicy finish. I can see some finding the wine a bit too sour. But I like that.

December 27, 2019 - Most excellent after 1.5 hour decant. Smooth as glass. Drink up as this is now in its prime. Excellent with grilled filets

May 5, 2019 - Similar note to before. Warm red fruit centric with loads of baking spice on the finish. Bitter tannins on the finish but overall structure seems to be fading/softening. Ultra ripe/sweet and almost identical to the Hundred Acre wines I’ve had from these years. Like just passing the peak.
