February 29, 2024 - Decanted by good friend for 12 hrs prior to serving. Deep dense maroon and ruby color. Herbal notes (spearmint and tomato?), cherry, old leather on the nose. Black cherry, herbal tones, earth, and leather on the palate with 35 sec finish. Strong acidity that begs for food pairing, which definitely enhanced both food (short rib pasta) and wine. Still felt young but beautifully made and a nice birthday treat.

January 25, 2024 - CdB BoG; 1/25/2024-1/27/2024 (Denver): Lost my detailed notes so going from memory a few weeks later. This was drinking at peak or maybe just past. Mature fruit and lovey smooth tannins. Very nice.

January 5, 2024 - Drinking well now. Just left it in the bottle and it lasted us around 2 hours before it started to fall off. Should benefit a bit more with age but I think its at its peak drinking window.

Medium dark red, rather slim yellow edge, 5.5
Wonderful generous bouquet, mature Bdx, forest floor, red fruits, pencil, complex.
Harmonious palate, mT, mA, mB, dry, well balanced, still fruit left, elegant finish leaving a long tobacco like note.
Drink now-2028.
This is totally ready and will probably be so for some years. But I don’t believe it’ll be for long term cellaring. -

March 17, 2023 - First bottle in 5 years. Still presents youthful. An herbal nose, loam, hints of dusty cherry, leather. Palate gives green peppers, more nettles, hints of pith and cherry rinds. Curious if this softens over time
