November 23, 2022 - After a 6hr decant:
The nose is lower in intensity but high in complexity with faint aromas of pure, sweet, inviting fruit in the full red to black spectrum with bluer fruits dominating with more time in the glass. Palate is fresh, lively and intense with a bright orange zest acidity and a long finish.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 19, 2022 - FTLOP 17th Anniversary; 11/18/2022-11/20/2022 (Seattle, Washington): Medium ruby in color. Red fruit and some spirit on the nose. Cranberry and red fruit on the palate with some nice acidity and good balance. Rich mouthfeel and very nice notes of chocolate and red fruit on the finish.

August 26, 2022 - Noval VP mini-vertical (P81): Intense and refreshing red cherry fruit with a touch of coffee and almonds. Great balance and wonderful intensity. Creamy mouthfeel and overall just an amazing wine! Loved it!

May 27, 2021 - Really lovely. Full of flavor and body, but not as viscous and chewy as say a 77. A burgundy rather than a Bordeaux.
