March 1, 2024 - This is on the cusp of maturity, with some slight meaty tones but still the dry juniper laden black fruit. I think these would be best left alone for a few years to fully come into the secondary window.

February 23, 2024 - Tasted over two days. Primary aromas/flavours; black fruit. Not much developed. Coarse tannins, good fruit concentration. Medium+ finish. A very good wine, but lacks a bit to be outstanding. I'm not sure the tannins will soften. Balance?

January 29, 2024 - Very classic style, yet a bit restrained. Maybe in a phase?

January 21, 2024 - Tannic initially. In sweet spot at 4 hours with some aeration. First of 12. Solid, classic.
