April 13, 2024 - Ready to drink now. Don’t seem much upside in waiting. Tannins resolved. Later than expected, funk on the nose. Glycerin raspberries.

December 11, 2023 - Super funk on the opening and first pour of the bottle, starts to round out into more of a wet soil and leaves aroma after a few minutes and then that starts taking on some ammonia/hair salon like qualities. Color is ruby and slightly dusty but not particularly concentrated. Ripe red fruit and meat start to emerge...braised lamb to be more specific. Palate is met with more ripe red fruit, pastry cream, oak, roasted lamb...complex and yet light bodied and fresh and lively still. Don't think there is a rush to drink this, but wouldn't forget about it either.

November 20, 2023 - PnP. Out of the gate this wine was showing like a great modern CDP - overripe/candied red fruits, touch of spice, sweet Oak, very smooth and a long finish. I was thinking 95 points, but a couple hours later, the fruit and finish started to fall off rather significantly and this wine, that is only a dozen years old, was on its last legs. The score reflects the bottle needing to be being shared and consumed rather quickly in order to get the best of it. Drink up.

October 2, 2023 - The nose on this is crazy good: aromatic spices, cranberry juice, incense, and cherry. The palate is also great and I think a very cool year like 2011 really is perfect for this style of wine. In its window, but has a long life ahead.

Neecies Does not like this wine: 80 points
June 26, 2023 - Decanted for 90 minutes then pecked at periodically over two hours. Mean and green (underripe, not TCA), scant fruit. HUGE disappointment.
