  December 8, 2022 - Tannic,earthy, complex flavors, interesting grape, medium to full body, great structure, drank with ribs, corn bread, plantains, and guacamole, last bottle on to next vintage, 14.5% abv, we really like offbeat grapes.

  August 5, 2021 - Decanted 90 minutes. Deep opaque purple-ruby. Mineral heavy and powerful nose. Iodine, pencil shavings, graphite, blueberries, blackberries, lilac, honeysuckle, and a hit of vanilla. Full bodied, spicy, and tannic. Tons of dark fruit – blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, ripe plums hit at first. Followed by a burst of acidity and then all of the oak comes forward in the form of spice. Grippy and almost chewy heavy tannins. Very floral and herbal long finish with a decent amount of alcohol warmth.
  
  This is a wine that knows what it wants to be - it wants to be dark and bold. I somehow get the feeling this wine needs to be lost in the cellar for at least another 5 years before breaking out again.
  
  92pts now, but I suspect this will just get better with age.

  June 2, 2021 - Not decanted. Medium purple color in the glass with a ruby rim. Youthful aromas of stewed plum, blackberry, mulberry and graphite. The palate brings date, plum, black pepper, rooibos, and rustic bramble. Acidity is medium-high, and tannins are medium-high but surprisingly well integrated. Finishes at medium-short length. Easy drinking and enjoyable now, with room for potential improvement over the next few years.
