December 3, 2023 - Highly unimpressive. Big, black-fruited nose but it feels terribly over-worked and the heat really comes through. ~81 points.

December 2, 2023 - California Wine Weekend; 12/1/2023-12/3/2023 (Mos Eisley Cantina & Waterhouse Restaurant): Nose: Gorgeous nose of black and red berries, mineral and cedar. Lets many marks of this site shine. Palate: Attack full of red berries and plum, then alcohol that just overwhelms the fruit. The beauty just got lost in the booze. Finish: remarkably hot
Not sure if I want to call this flawed, but it was clearly out of balance. -
