April 14, 2021 - PnP. Nose & palate of cherries & black raspberries, oak, and mocha. Tickling tannins and medium finish. Improved over the next 30 minutes.

December 24, 2019 - Remains opaque purple in color. The nose is a bit restrained and dominated by dark fruits with hints of tobacco and tinderbox. The fruit seems to have faded slightly but remains primary. Tannins are a bit intrusive and not entirely integrated. Overall the wine is enjoyable and very good.

March 26, 2019 - Tannins really smoothed our nicely. Acids and chocolatey fruit are well balanced and pleasing.
