March 21, 2022 - bought on release and properly cellared until opening. needs 1 hour of air to meld...wow...springing blueberries and strawberries, hints of coffee, kiwi (which properly integrates into balance with time/air) and tar that also mellows with air. nice integration and layers. fruit forward modern style.

October 22, 2016 - A little on the earthy side with lots of dark fruit flavors. Continued to evolve over an hours time. Very good.

In a perfect spot right now. Should hold for several years. These Auteur wines definitely benefit from cooler climate and show off those characteristics quite well.
