April 23, 2023 - Terrific! Expressive with plenty of dark red cherry and vibrant acidity. Tannins still fairly firm but doesn’t detract from overall balance. Should last another 10-15 years but I’d recommend trying now!!

February 4, 2023 - Slow ox for 2 hours. Drank over 3 days. Fantastic performance. This is what I like about Sugarille. Continue to develop and deliver on a high level. Dark red color. A hint of orange/light brown on edge. Tannins, grib, balance. Spice, dark cherries, dark fruit. Long finish.

January 30, 2023 - Full of fruit and still strong tannin. Should have decanted for 2-3 hours. Berries and cherries. Alas only have 1 more which I will wait 3-5 more years.

April 14, 2022 - 2 years since last review- this needed about 90 min to open up. Certainly in its prime with great balance and surprisingly good depth. This was a few peeps wotn amongst some heavy hitters. This will drink well for a decade.
