September 21, 2022 - At 12 years old, this wine is in a perfect place. Will it or can it improve over time, certainly. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it now. PnP with pizza and you'll get great mix of cherry and black fruit with lifting acidity and silky tannins.

June 14, 2019 - Very rich pruney nose, and finishes with a similar note, but retains an overriding freshness, without any flab or heat. Pretty tannic although smoothed out fairly quickly in the glass to become enjoyable without food. Very good with lots of upside.
