Rich cherry up front gives way to a light oak and quickly to an earthy finish. The fruit was a touch overripe, IMO, but the finish was really nice. Overall good, but maybe my expectations from previous vintages were too high.
1/23/2021 Notes were clearly different from the first bottle. The fruit was assertive for sure, but really didn't seem overripe. Some chocolate toward the finish and a touch of meatiness. Good balance of acidity on the finish.

Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release at winery until consumed. Initial bouquet was lovely. Unfortunately, it faded quickly, and after about 15 minutes, it was completely gone. Not satisfactory for a wine of this price or supposed breeding.

Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release until consumed. Pleasant bouquet, nice mouth feel, simple wine. No complexity, did not stand out or make one wish to drink it again.

Drinking well, but likely at or past peak, don't think this is a vintage to cellar further.

No change from previous notes. OK, but nothing special. Perhaps over the hill at a relatively young age? Disappointing.
