December 16, 2023 - In a nice place now. Dark fruit. Deep notes that keeps evolving. Lots of liquorice after some hours. Full bodied.

September 29, 2022 - Concentrated and polished loaded with raspberry, pomegranate and white pepper. Adding hints of vanilla and dark caramel on the palate. Well integrated medium grained tannins and long flavory finish. That is well made. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:4

September 26, 2021 - After four hours in the decanter this started to show its stuff. Plums, florals, milk chocolate, coffee. I think this will be ready for prime time in a couple of years. Still quite tannic and a little closed.

June 26, 2021 - Decanted 30 minutes. Really delicious, nice balance and body for my taste. I probably enjoyed it more than the 2016 I had a few years ago. I ‘ve enjoyed their more recent vintages of this as well, but this showed me that patience will not disappoint and for me paid off. I still like the wine enthusiast notes on this one and enjoyed the cherry and plum flavors. Had it with a pork carnitas dinner and it was a good pairing. Cheers
