February 17, 2024 - this bottle was quite nice, unlike some of the bottles with dried corks. Well balanced with nice fruit but modest earthy flavors. A little tannic but not to much. Really good but more time won't make it better

December 30, 2023 - Violets, mint, chocolate, truffle, crushed rocks and roasted cherries pop as soon as the wine hits the glass. On the palate, lush, warm plums, cherries, cocoa spice, with a buttery texture and a finish loaded with Indian spices, cocoa powder and roasted red and dark red fruits. Fully mature, no decanting needed, just pop, pour and enjoy. Drink from 2023-2030.

September 17, 2023 - another dried cork. But I let it sit open for about an hour and then poured through a filter and it was pretty good.
