  April 17, 2024 - From magnum. Doubled decanted 5 hours before service. Opaque red with little color loss. Black fruits with a lot of tannins. Many years of great drinking ahead.

  March 25, 2024 - Sadly, this was slightly maderized. I want to leave myself a note so that I can try again because I definitely will. The wine under the damage was full, muscular, and very energetic. Im sure there is something special in the good bottles. Try again!

  January 25, 2024 - Drinking nicely but still quite youthful.
  
  The nose shows ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, black plum skin, plum, poached strawberries & and soft mix of purple & blue fruit hues. Dark spice but not overpowering, chocolate fudge/pudding, dry tobacco, leather, sandalwood, some nutmeg & clove, vanillin, crushed limestone, dry river stones, dark, rich earth, soft herbaceous notes, hint of eucalyptus, brambly/dry twig, dry top soil, delicious lead pencil notes, moist volcanic ash, withering; dark, red, blue flowers framed in violets, very good acidity with a well balanced, nice structured & tensioned finish that lasts 90 seconds.
  
  Excellent w/ the Bone in Ribeye.
  
  This has 15-20 years of good drinking life in it.
