December 17, 2023 - Last bottle. Same as prior however I will note that both of these bottles felt slightly off balance. They were both very powerful and lacking elegance. Last bottle I thought it was the food. This time even with heavier food it felt brutish. Maybe it’s the style. I prefer more subtly.

November 23, 2023 - Loads of tar with dried flowers, figs/plums and dried black fruit showing some advance age. The tannins are still prominent and the acid is mouthwatering. Very pretty wine but with some advanced sour notes.

November 13, 2023 - Quick note for posterity. This wine is in a terrific spot right now with tannins smoothed by age and yet the fruit remains so fresh that one of our experienced oenophiles mistook this wine for a young vintage. It exudes the classic notes of rose and tar to the extent that this was the first time I finally understood that cliche… One hour decant. With the proper food it can only be better.

December 25, 2022 - Mature wine with bouquet of black fruit, dried cherries and herbs. Black currant, black berries and dried cherry are dominant flavors with herbaceous and leather undertones. Soft tannins. 23-year-old wine contained a lot of sediment but was drinking nicely.
