December 15, 2023 - Drank over two nights. A little funk at first, but blew off nicely and provided good, middle of the fairway profile over two nights. Better second night under pump.

May 18, 2023 - In a really nice window. Tannins still have some grip (as you'd expect) but they're nicely integrated and secondary and tertiary flavors are starting to show through. Got the pedigree to last a while longer but beautiful to drink now with 30 minute decant to blow off the initial awkwardness

May 17, 2023 - Really great bottle of Dunn Howell Mt, spectacular fruit and showing very little signs of age with some secondary characteristics but still very youthful. Drink now or hold for ???? Very enjoyable experience right now.

April 30, 2023 - Decanted 3 hours. A dark, complex, concentrated wine with dark fruits, mineral and spice. Very structured and a nice finish.

April 15, 2023 - Dark red color. Plums, blackberries, blueberries, licorice, chocolate, and spice in the nose. Lots of black fruits, black currants, blackberries and plums in the flavor with minerals and spice. A rich, concentrated wine with great structure and complexity, very well balanced, medium to full bodied and a long smooth finish.
