March 24, 2024 - If you like them ripe, jammy, and vaguely sweet, this wine is for you.

January 29, 2024 - Popped and poured. Fairly nice for an hour or so, much better than the last bottle even though from same case bought on release and properly stored. Still some fruit left with a hint of Mourvèdre sweetness. Drink up, doubt these will get any better and more likely on the way down.

January 11, 2024 - Decanted 30 min, probably a mistake. Nose was nice when first poured into decanter but mostly vanished over that 30 min. Palate wasn't bad just weak and tired. This bottle was on its way down. Drink up.

December 25, 2023 - Disappointing. Wine seemed tired. Fruit was mostly gone and alcohol overwhelmed. I would not hold any longer
