February 14, 2024 - Still young. Quite primary and oak dominant. Sweet tobacco, new leather, black plum and blackberry. Chalky, unresolved tannins. Persistent but moderate acids. Lovely alcohol integration. Flavours add sweet black fruit, rosemary and hints of milk chocolate. Really quite sweet on the palate. Good length. Better in 5 years.

December 21, 2023 - This wonderful cuvée really showed its stuff after a three hour decant. Dark red fruit, Mediterranean spice, mineral notes and licorice. Great depth and texture. There may still be a decade of good drinking in its future. Good juice.

October 1, 2023 - Good showing - the nose initially showcased a blend of blue/black fruits (blueberry, blackberry, plum) and needed to be decanted. It really gained weight, depth, and expressiveness at the 2-3 hour mark, when it w at its best over the course of the 5-6 hours we consumed the bottle. At the 2-3 hour mark, the nose revealed typical notes of rosemary and lavender with hints of dark chocolate melded with the same fruit flavors. The fruit is upfront and center. The alcohol is clearly there but not overbearing or too obtrusive. We'll hold our last bottle for near-term drinking.

September 27, 2023 - Off. Agree with previous note. Not good. Poured it down drain.

September 22, 2023 - Pnp. Strong sweaty horse notes right out of the gate. Generally sour, somehow off fruit notes. Must have a very bad case of brett. Will leave overnight and test it again tomorrow. Still no good. Off, stewed fruit. Down the drain it went!
