February 3, 2024 - Classic Bordeaux nose, with prominent cedar and graphite notes. These notes also dominate the palate. There's an odd metallic note on the finish, which takes away a point or two. Probably not going to improve, but should keep another 3-4 years.

December 6, 2022 - Ruby colored. Nose has blueberries and cedar. Taste has lots of graphite and a spicy undercurrent that is a bit stinging on the lips, oddly. More acid than tannin but not unpleasant.

December 5, 2020 - Sap, maple syrup, blueberries. Very nice tannins. The cedar influence is irresistible.

December 1, 2019 - Odd showing for a 2016 in that there's a bit of brett and most people have worked out those kinks nowadays... at any rate, beyond that this comes off as hot and aggressive.
