March 8, 2024 - Bright dark fruit; liquorice, blackberry leaf. Great balance. Evolved to prime over 3 hours.

February 12, 2024 - PNP with berries, anise and some chocolate on the nose. After the first glass the bottle was put aside for today. Nose still youthful however the astringent mouth feel was replaced with more balance and a very well integrated long finish. This wine will continue to improve for a few more years, however with decanting it should open up nicely over a long dinner. So delicious.

February 4, 2024 - Licorice, cassis, blueberry, lavender. Baking spice and tannins still present, not fully resolved, 11 years old but could still use time. A hint of umami, almost like an oyster sauce in a nice way. Oak hides the 15.2%, dense and impactful wine.

January 28, 2024 - This wine continues to drink beautifully and this tasting was even better than my last in 2021. Notes of plum, black raspberry, cherry, and graphite. Nice mouthfeel with well integrated tannins and long finish. This was my last bottle but I expect it will continue to drink well for 5-10 years, if not more. Paired with marinated grilled venison chops.
