  Beautiful translucent ruby red in the glass that reflects nicely in sunlight.
  Nose shows musty red fruit, pine-sol cleaner, minerals, sweet perfumed cut flowers, also some lavender.
  
  Palate is crunchy red fruits flecked with garden herbs. Finishes with pronounced earthy notes along with more red fruits like cranberry and red cherry, quite persistent. Wine still shows good tension and energy along with not quite resolved tannin.
  
  Probably opened a bit too early, still quite delicious and complex nonetheless. Recommended hold for a few more years, drink 2024-2029.

  This is developing nicely. Lots of forest floor, earth, herb, sweet cream, orange peel, and faint wild berry.
  
  Sappy raspberry, red cherry, and pomegranate fruit is lively and fresh due to abundant acidity. Minerals and herbs mix into the medium long finish where tannins are still notable. It is not quite there yet.
  
  Drink now with a long decant, otherwise hold until 2023-24 or longer.

  Red ruby in color. Similar to previous notes, lifted aromas of dark red berries, spice cake, loose leaf tea and dark florals. Medium bodied palate reveals sappy red fruits, hint of pleasant green-savory note, good acidity, and a decent floral and spicy finish. This is eminently drinkable and would make a good companion at the dinner table.

  Yum. Floral notes over red fruits, balanced acidity and medium-light body. A very lovely accompaniment to quail smoked on the grill. It still has a few more years of improvement before hitting its plateau, I'd guess.
