  December 29, 2023 - Honestly I thought I’d be disappointed. I bought it in a Library Release and kept it in my cellar for a while. I wasn’t sure if I should just leave it in the OWC as a cool addition to my cellar or drink it.
  
  Boy am I glad I decided to drink it.
  
  While the appearance was a bit muddled (not as opaque/clean as other HA’s), the tannins are thick and last forever.
  
  Deep dark fruits, blackberry perhaps. Clean and pure, thick on the palate, lasts 7 or 8 seconds or longer, a smooth fruity and sophisticated wine.
  
  Had with lamb chops in mint/parsley sauce and a clean 2 1/2 inch thick Prime NY Strip cooked perfectly. Accompanied a perfect meal with class, power and grace. Pure and strong enough of a wine- still firing on all cylinders- to match these powerful food flavors.
  
  100 points. A must drink NOW if it’s in your cellar.

  December 25, 2023 - Same as prior notes. Holy shit. Sex in a glass. Very, very rich, and you'd not know there's 15.5% alcohol.

  March 22, 2023 - In peak form, powerful dark fruit, smooth with a touch of sweetness. Opened up in the glass, even after a 2 1/2 hour decanting.

  February 3, 2023 - Holy shit. Dark, dark fruit. 15.5 alcohol but not obvious. Almost licorice like WOW. Not for everybody's taste, but so opulent, really decadent stuff. Amazing.

  January 18, 2023 - Decant for at least one hour. Would give this a 99-100pts! Very complex and outstanding wine. Pairs very well with protein like a streak. Recommend with some food and share with friends. Wish there was more of this in the world!
