March 12, 2024 - This was drinking beautifully tonight after about an hour of air with excellent depth and concentration to its spicy, dark red and blue fruit, garrigue undertones and firm minerality. There’s also some subtle aromas of pipe tobacco. This was full bodied and had a long, satisfying finish. The tannins are fully integrated. What a delight!

February 10, 2024 - Bit astringent in the finish which I didn't notice in the last bottle. Definitely taste the drying tannins. Still good but had better CdP.
