Much improved since last tasing 3 years ago. Though linear and one-dimensional, this is nevertheless extremely drinkable and satisfying. Drink 2023 - 2026. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Solid nose of red fruit with a palate that drives hard into the candied/cola version of a pinot, with enough acidity to keep it in the ballpark of being enjoyable. I don't think aging is going to change it for the better at this point.

Did not decant but consumed over 4+ hours. Dark, brambly fruit, expressive nose, and impressive finish. Still tight and compact, so drink 2022-2030. Will get better. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 91.

Good structure. Very drinkable but not memorable. Good immediately after opening. Letting it air for an hour did not improve this wine in the least.
