  March 9, 2021 - Cherries on the nose and palate, with a hint of garrigue and underbrush. Very fresh. Gains addition complexity with air. Slight sour note on the finish. Beautiful wine, wish I had more.

  February 23, 2019 - Observed the exact same flavor profile as ROCKNROLLER. And, yes this seems late in its life. Was a bit more tart than I hoped and then didn’t last all that long in the glass before most of the fruit was gone. that said, very lovely medium-light body; and well balanced. should have drunk it a year or two ago.

  January 18, 2019 - Medium maroon color, showing some age. PNP, drank a couple glasses over 2 hours. Cranberry, cardamom, briar, dried earth, tart berry nose. The palate is nicely tart, earth, cranberry, tart raspberry, cherry vanillin, medium body, medium grained tannins. Very good. Not sure this is a long ager, I'd drink over the next few years. 91+pts.
