November 13, 2023 - Red berries, with purple berry accents, meadow flowers, herbs, sous-bois, and black earth on the bouquet and palate. Taut, delightfully so, and still showing youthful elements. I preferred this over the 2008 vintage. This bottle had five to seven years, perhaps ten, of life. Improvement seems possible. 93-94.

December 14, 2022 - Herbal lift, candied red fruit nose. Tasted extracted, but smoothed out by its age. Red and dark fruit, still fairly bright and holding acid, not too shabby and definitely not flabby. 90

March 20, 2021 - Decanted an hour before. Very fruit forward! Leads with blueberry, with a bit of cherry and maybe blackberry in the background. Acidity very much in balance. Color thinning on the edges. It won't get better, but it is not in any danger of slipping over the edge. I would say it has a couple of years ahead of it. Sadly, it is my last bottle. Hats off to Mike Etzel, he did very well with this one which is no surprise.

October 17, 2020 - Delicious. Shows maturity not through aged funk but rather a softening of the primary palate. Cherry, blueberry, faint prickly blackberry, some citrus lightening things up. Soft and integrated, still fresh.

September 17, 2020 - A multi hour revelation, opening up into an evolving display of various fruit (dark red cherry, plum, even blueberry), also cocoa, coffee, mushroom, among others.
