February 17, 2024 - Nice enough, but quite soft and probably faded. I left it too long in the cellar :-( I think the CT drinking window of 2022 was probably about right.

October 17, 2022 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor, mineral and tobacco. The body is full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
