March 21, 2024 - Stemmy note has finally dissipated and what's left is pretty mellow. Easier to drink now but not terribly interesting. Doesn't seem like it has much life left. Drink.

June 22, 2022 - Similar experience to my previous bottle. There is an unpleasant stemmy vegetal note that dissipates somewhat with time. More time in the bottle may do the trick. Only time will tell.

December 21, 2021 - Decanted and showing moderate sediment in bottle.
Aromas are first warm with the abv content but fade to reveal varietal correct notes of rubbed thyme, sage and fenugreek with scents of pepper, earth, leather, tobacco, dark cocoa, stewed plum, dried blueberry and black currant with hints of cigar box, pencil shavings and vanilla details.
on the palate the wine is warm despite the airtime. Tannins are velvety and moderate/ moderate-plus and matched by berry-tinged acidity. Flavors follow the nose with herbs, leather, tobacco, cocoa, spice, stewed and dried fruits and notes of vanilla, graphite pencil and earth. The finish lingers moderately. -

July 29, 2021 - Best for me on its third night, for sure. First two nights were getting close to uncomfortably overripe, a high alcohol blueberry stew. By third night fruit sweetness was much subdued and this was enjoyable as a still big, bluefruited wine with decent acid-tannin backbone.

July 24, 2021 - It has come together quite a bit since my last bottle a few years ago, so I have hope for the future, but at this point it is still a bit disjointed and lacking complexity.
