July 24, 2022 - Medium red with good polish. Lush, bright red fruit nose. Matching fruit in the mouth with enjoyable chewy tannins.

June 18, 2022 - Very tight upon open but mellowed out after 30 minutes of air. Fragrant grilled plum and blueberry aromas with a dense core of brown spice and cocoa. Ripe black fruit on the palate which settles in nicely behind cocoa powder and clove. Very enjoyable.

February 4, 2022 - Very young , but delightful along side a steak topped with Gorgonzola and mushrooms Kinda of tannic for sipping when first opened , but I wasn’t able to open early or aerate prior to dinner. Definitely buying more to keep
