Nice bottle with distinctive flavors. Dark raspberry/cherry fruit. Hints of spice. Tar/gunflint notes. Was a little more open the second night. Tannins are soft. Nice acidity.

Not ready to my taste. Beautiful flavour and mouthfeel. Give it +3years at least. 91+
edit October 2023: I should have read my own notes before pulling another cork. I'm getting a bit forgetfull. Anyway, it was lovely and still unready, but a bit left in a decanter overnight was excellent, my measurement for future cellaring success. Still 91+ , will be more later.

Not Rated Unripe, stalky and acidic. Difficult to find much to enjoy about this wine but judging by the other reviews I think I just had a bad bottle. Chalk it up to experience.

sour cherry, cranberry, red currant, herbs, very subtle spicy oak, nice high acid, a hint of barnyard funk on the nose but none in the mouth. better after 1 hour aeration.

Quite forward nose with red fruit (raspberry), medium weight with fined texture. Forward and concentrated. Medium finishing. Not complex wine but enjoyable
