March 6, 2024 - Quite sharp on opening. Hints of warm spice way underneath the heat and burn. Short, harsh, clipped finish. Hope this opens up and let’s down its wall of shards.
Sadly quite one dimensional and muddy with air. Really not good. Perhaps a bad bottle or in a bad spot. None of the good qualities of other’s notes. -

ONEFIVE Likes this wine:
November 18, 2023 - Subtle nose of dark cherry, and some asphalt and floral notes.
Medium weight, medium acidity, high- tannin.
This is grippy and tightly wound at the moment. Some air would do it well.
All in all its a good wine but not outstanding. Better in 3-5 years.
