January 21, 2023 - 2 hour decant, starting to reach its drinking window and no longer shut down, bold and ripe fruit, will be interesting to see how it develops over the next 5 years. Thoroughly enjoyed

November 30, 2022 - Minor deposit. Deep red. 15.5 alc.
Rich, ripe fruitcake aromas. Black fruit. Trace of medicinal.
Blackberry, black plum. Christmas pudding. Despite the richness and power, it has good length and some elegance. It’s a wine I can respect but it’s a battleship and I prefer a less confronting vessel. I expect it will live a long life.
8 hours later: For me, it’s too overripe and overblown. Acid is low. It’s a well made battleship… -

October 11, 2022 - Alc is clocking in at 16%. Ridiculous wine, heavy, basic non descript fruit bomb. Could be any red blend from anywhere.

July 23, 2022 - What a shifty basic ass wine. In a cdp line up, I thought it was a ringer.
