December 24, 2023 - Personally. I would give this another 5-10 years to soften a little as it should have a very long life ahead. Still tightly coiled with great underlying material.

August 23, 2023 - Les Degustateurs last tasting for a dear friend (Smyth and the Loyalist Chicago, IL): Youngest wine of the flight. Deep berry color, tight tannins, sweet finish, super body and weight on the palate. So youthful. Wait to try again in 5 years and can go another 15+. BUY.

July 22, 2023 - Great choice with Denver steak. Matched the full flavor of the steak and and moderately spiced dry rub very well. Fruits were distinct but not heavy on the palate, a fullness of the fruit profile that was combined with a light touch of minimality.

September 29, 2022 - Really dark, plump fruit, good nose, tannins still there, good long finish, just needs more time+5years. Hold/Buy
