July 30, 2023 - Perhaps still more to come on this one. Very aromatic nose of jerbs. Very dry cherry. I would say there is another 5-10 years before this one fades. Perhaps a hold versus the drink up someone else recommended?

January 22, 2023 - Very big fruit. High abv 15.5% but well integrated. Drying tannins as others have mentioned. Recommend 3 hour decant.

Will probably open the next bottle in a year and see if bottle age helps but don’t think there’s much more to come from age , would just do a slightly longer decant.

February 22, 2020 - If a Mexico Carini>Chalk Dust Torture is a wine then this is it. Big, brooding, dark fruit segues into a well-structured, balanced and energetic mouth attack of sweet, polished, drying tannins and a frenetic yet silky finish. Like Carini and CDT, this has aged and evolved beautifully, yet still has more to give over time. Stunning!

August 12, 2018 - Plum leather and oak stood out in this one. Pnp and improved over an hour. 45 min decant is proably recommended, but the development over time was interesting.
