August 7, 2022 - 20 minutes in the decanter and it definitely needed more time. Really intriguing nose of sweet cranberry and other red fruits. This is a big wine! Intense tannins that coat your teeth, which I really like. Rose, cherry, spice and minerals. Good mouthfeel and long finish. If I had another bottle I would wait 3 or 4 years to open it or give it a very long decant. Probably just getting close to its prime drinking window.

May 26, 2018 - Really impressed with this wine. Earthy black cherries and anise, loamy earth bordering on tar before the finish brings tar, tobacco, and leather with undertones of black tea and anise for good measure. Tannins are getting close to integration, the astringency is more bittersweet chocolate than wood, and I would say about 60 / 40 with the acid right now. Alcohol (14%) and oak are both in line. Style & Quality: A- (92). Will hopefully continue to develop more complexity for that higher rating, definitely has the potential. At $61 / bottle (JJB), I very much hope that it does; Value: B (86). Overall Evaluation: A- (90).
