August 18, 2022 - Brilliant. Shedded all the baby fat that was present nearly 3 years ago. Wine is refined and nuanced, the nose bursting with a plethora of aromatics. The clarity is evident from all the racking… all the wonderful elements of oak without the bitter tannins or angularity. This wine is holistic, charming, immediately accessible. Bravo
