May 4, 2024 - Good wine and drinks well now. However, not enough tertial aromas at this point for my liking. Clear fruit and well made wine. Can take another 5-10 years in the cellar.

February 23, 2024 - Magnificent and drinking beautifully right now, though still with more time to evolve. Wish I had another bottle. . .
At 45 mins decanted: Medium garnet in the glass, strong aromas of stewed red fruits, bubblegum, and a hint of espresso. The palate reflects strong acidity and tastes a bit hot from the high alcohol, almost a touch out of balance. Tannins remain present and not fully opulent, though gentle enough. Otherwise, delightfully medium-bodied and a really nice, long-lasting finish.
At 3+ hrs decanted: The red fruit and bubblegum aromas have given way to fig and hoisin, along with carob and a hint of undergrowth. The palate really opens up and comes into balance, with the acidity, tannin, and alcohol all now well balanced. Complexity, structure, and that long finish. Tremendous.
Food: Paired with seared duck breast with a fig reduction sauce and sauteed mushrooms; complemented the wine well but not a perfect pair. Something was off there, maybe a too much “like for like” pairing? -

October 21, 2023 - Wonderful bouquet of ripe berries, cherries, stone, undergrowth. Full bouquet, sweet, ripe, followed by some acidity, freshness and tannins, leading to a spicy, sweet and sour finish.

June 18, 2023 - Still brick red and fresh, very acidic. Very convincing with grilled red meat.

May 24, 2023 - minor stains up the cork; some bricking; mature red fruit, more savory than sweet now; a great food match
