April 21, 2024 - Stunning wine. Dark and rich, but smooth. Hints of dark cocoa, thyme, coffee. Immense complexity and a long finish. Started drinking after 30min decant, got better through the meal. Was actually good even right out of the bottle.

February 4, 2024 - My 2nd time trying this 2016 and at this point, it is mind blowing. Give it a full 90 minutes to open up and then it is a fully powerful, fruit forward wine. Absolutely amazing. Deep vibrant fruits but very smooth with no hard edges.

August 20, 2023 - Drink after 3 hours of aeration, without decanting.
Deep ruby with purple rim. Nose of cherry, vanilla, leather, and spices. Full-bodied, with elegant, dense, and rounded mouthfeel. Soft tannin and medium-to-low acidity. Finish is fruity and reasonably long. Drinking beautifully now, but also worth to wait. 93.5pt. -

July 12, 2023 - I really like this. Opened on July 3. Decanted and kept in wine fridge for an hour before serving. Vacusealed the remaining bottle and put it in a regular fridge till July 12 and drank the last glass then. Last glass was great. I don’t know how, but when the wine hits my tongue I just see the vineyard so clearly in my mind. I have a soft spot for this estate and I enjoyed this bottle very much.
