  December 10, 2023 - (at Elkridge Club - Baltimore). This was a good but slightly muted bottle that showed some swampy fruit to go along with a soft personality. It started to come together after 60 minutes but could not continue to follow the evolution. Could improve with time - would love to see the mid-palate flesh out and become more defined. (90+?)

  November 21, 2023 - Nicely perfumed nose with floral notes, blackcurrant, cedar and vanilla. Starting to show some development via leather aromas. Medium bodied and structured with fresh acidity. Good length. Needs more time.

  August 28, 2023 - Reading my note from two years ago, I have to believe that my palate is just "off." All I am getting tonight on PnP is vanilla in the nose and excessive oak in the mouth, to the exclusions of anything else. Since it is most likely me and not the wine, not rated.
  
  Next day, after sitting open in the stoppered bottle for 18 hours, the vanilla has largely resolved and so has much of the oak--though this is still notably oaky. At this point, if you give it plenty of time to air, I'd say 5-12-16-8: 91/100.
