  July 6, 2022 - This needed some time to open. Initially it was quite closed and leathery but eventually opened to dried fruit and herbs, the occasional note of fresh fruit, and still had plenty of power.

  April 21, 2021 - Dark ruby color. Aromas are fairly closed. Restrained, balanced. Acidic lift, polished tannins. I really like this wine. It’s all about the structure at this point. There is still a fruit polish that remains. Doesn’t seem it will improve, but it’s very nice at this point. Enjoy!

  May 9, 2019 - Smoooooth customer. Almost silky on the palate with just enough "other stuff" holding it together for a very enjoyable glass. Dark. Finally beginning to mellow a little this wine pairs well with meat dishes.
  
  Last tasted about a year and a half ago, this wine still has plenty of life ahead of it but I didn't find the extra dimensions that would lift this wine into the "magical 90's".

  December 28, 2018 - Much as previous comment. Deep dense red/purple in glass, rich fruit, moderate full body, well integrated. Certainly seems to have potential to continue to improve a bit more, given comparison with two tears ago.
