March 8, 2024 - On the nose the age is evident… with tertiary characteristics of earth, tobacco & almost a garrigue note.
Dark cherry & some green pepper from the Cab Franc. (damn you, IBMP!)
Lots of complexity here - surprisingly high acidity, too - makes me think there's still more years ahead for this vintage. -

March 1, 2023 - Absolutely amazing right now! Well balanced. Hints of dark fruit, soft tannins and a wonderful finish. Need to find more!!

November 26, 2022 - Much better the second day, on opening there is a strong blackberry aftertaste, similar to the 15.
