January 2, 2023 - Beautiful dark berries, sweet spices. Dull body, more dark berries albeit underripe and fresh in nature. Rounded and drinking perfectly right now.

March 25, 2022 - Still deep color. Lots of black and blue fruits in the nose and flavor. Blackberries, black cherries, blueberries, and plums, with hints of licorice, tobacco and herbalness. Well balanced, nice acidity, and a long finish.

March 26, 2020 - Very good. Drank over 3 nights using Coravin and continued to improve. Dark purple burgundy, with dark fruits, some remaining chewy tannin and a bit of sweetness. Long life ahead.

July 10, 2016 - Dark, sweet fruit. High acidity, with restrained nose. I think this will continue to improve with age.
